Yeah, probably.  It at least tries to work with locales.  Whether it
supports multibyte locales appropriately I don't know, but given the
php history, I would guess it probably doesn't.  But at least it
tries to support locales, where as the more traditional routines don't,
and regex expressions people create and other tests usually don't.

So it is still a locale win, but not a multi-byte win...
