This RFC conflates the addition of a multibyte version of addslashes (in
response to quoted CVE) with the replacement of the mbstring extension by a
completely different implementation (and an incomplete one at that). Those
two things have very little to do with each other and should not be covered
in the same RFC and/or vote.
