How about moving in the doc, in a section separate from Requirements
(could be called Performance suggestions), the mention of ctype extension?
That's in php-gettext, what could be potentially workarounded (as we
have all translations in utf-8). We have quite a lot of code to deal
with absence of mbstring in PMA_String and related classes.
Would the workaround imply a change in php-gettext itself?
Also, I am wondering. Before my change in the doc, we could read:
"For proper support of multibyte strings (eg. UTF-8, which is currently
the default), you should install the ``mbstring`` and ``ctype``
extensions."
So, is ctype required for php-gettext?
The question is: Do we want to support systems without mbstring
extension? If no, we can simplify quite a lot of our code, if yes, we
should fix this single case for php-gettext.
As Isaac said, the fewer requirements we have, the better.
