"encoding" is no constant in that sense. It will be only supported by  
PHP6
and as far as I have seen, it must be lowercase:

    declare(encoding = 'utf-8');

I don't have a working PHP6 installation at hand right now, but if  
someone
tries if "ENCODING" works as well, I don't mind if we write it  
uppercase.
