 +===== OpCache integraton =====
 +
 +Opcache has been bundled with 5.5.0. A real integration did not happen yet while stabilizing it was the highest priority.
 +
 +Integration may mean to merge in the engine, partially or totally.
 +
 +Questions:
 +  * Change opcodes to ease opcodes caching and optimization
 +  * Add necessary changes to support JIT compilation to native, most likely only partial part of the running code (a function/method or a portion of a function method). This part is totally undefined now, see the JIT section
 +
 +===== Unicode support =====
 +
 +Unicode is one of the most requested feature. Our last attempt failed and we should be very careful  about how we design and implement unicode support.
 +
 +UTF-16 has been shown to be a failure (also confirmed by many other projects usage). UTF-8 seems to be the best choice as default (or unique?) encoding for string values, besides binaries string (basically what we have now).
 +
 +Questions:
 +
 +   * Use of a fast and lite UTF-8 procession libraries for all core string operations
 +     * Possible libraries:
 +       * http://www.public-software-group.org/utf8proc
 +       * https://github.com/josephg/librope
 +
 +   * Use of intl for any advanced operations, localization or conversion?
 +   * Support of UTF-8 for the language itself, as PHP currently allows non ascii encoding in scripts, I would recommend to stop supporting it, except in comments.
