Description:
------------
The PREG manual states[1]:

| In UTF-8 mode, characters with values greater than 128 do not
| match any of the POSIX character classes.

However, that is not necessarily true, so the statement should be
changed appropriately.

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(preg_match('/^[[:alnum:]]$/u', "\xc3\x84"));

Expected result:
----------------
int(0) // expected according to the current documentation

Actual result:
--------------
int(1)

It seems that behavior changed in 5.3.4 (PCRE updated to 8.10). However, I couldn't see relevant changes that cause this. Will look further, if anything, docs can be updated to reflect it.

Thanks for report.

It seems to me that the change might be caused by item 9 in the
changelog of Version 8.10 25-Jun-2010[2].

This issue had been reported again as bug #72353, and already
fixed, so I'm marking this ticket as duplicate.
