Alexey Zakhlestin has written an ode to the mb_ereg functions - a set of regular expression based functions that are more than just for unicode strings:

That's as far from truth as it can be. mb_ereg_* functions are based on oniguruma regular expressions library.
And oniguruma is one of the fastest and most capable regular expression libraries out...
