Stuff is still highly likely to fail even if extension authors have
setup a correct declare(encoding) line due to
- missing support in environment (zend multibyte must be enabled)
- concatenating files with declare() lines is almost impossible

It's a simple soultion to require/enforce utf-8 and stick with it.

If somenoe comes up with a use case this could be reevaluated.
