Depending on what you have currently in the "unicode" USE flag I would
say. This multibyte switch has not much to do with unicode, nor would I
recommend it for normal production sites unless you really need it. So
if the unicode flag now contains "mbstring" for example, don't add it.
It's probably the best to make it a new USE flag.
