It's certainly true that a whole heap of things like this switched to an
extended meaning years ago when multibyte started being enabled.

It wouldn't be ridiculous to change the documentation for this case and
require "unsetopt multibyte" for strict byte-by-byte comparisions, which
is already how it works in the vast majority of other cases.
