I think this use case is descibed in the RFC. The default_charset can be
overwritten:
default_charset < php.* < mbstring.*/iconv.* < encoding specified by
functions

I think it's the same like above...You can override the default setting, so
everything should be fine.

I'm +1 for this, as there are really to much unnecessary settings around!
