mbstring.func_overload cannot been changed in htaccess

I have reported this problem in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49238. It
would appear that this option, which was first made available in PHP 4.2.0,
has been silently dropped. Apparently the decision was made in order to fix
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43227, but nothing was explicitly stated in
the bug report, nor in any release notes, and the documentation still has
not been updated to reflect this change even after 6 months.

This causes a problem if your site is on a shared server and you don't have
access to either php.ini or httpd.conf. If this option is turned off by
default, then how do you turn it on? If it is on by default then how do you
turn it off? It needs to be turned off for phpMyAdmin otherwise it will
issue a message warning about possible data corruption.

Should this option be reinstated?
