OK. There will be full-featured OO API without adding new functions into
legacy API (e.g. no session support). Though old functions will be
provided with two features (in sake of code cimplicity):
* multi-OID
* strict output typing

No need to deprecate it, but tell anyone asking for a feature for the
legacy API to migrate to the new shiny one :)

It is much easier and cleaner to simply go straight to OO then, without
procedural API, and keep the old for legacy apps.

You have guessed my next target - OO interface. :-)
If you apply new patch you'll see there is very small piece of code
making SNMPv1 functions be polymorphic - dozen of lines, not more.
My thoughts are that old API should be deprecated sometime, so there
will be session-only support: both OO and non-OO.

What do you think about keeping the old APIs as it is, froze it and add
a much nicer and flexible OO one instead? For any new improvements?
That's what I did for zip and brings much more rooms for new stuff while
reducing the maintenance work load.

Reuploaded patches (to be allied against trunk)
+ session-like workflow:
$session = snmp_session_open(...);
$result = snmpget($oid);
...
snmp_session_close($session);
+ support for SNMPv3 contextName & contextEngineID properties in new
syntax style
+ tests for new features
snmp(real)?{get,walk,set} functions are now polymorphic - they accepts
both old (SNMPv1) arguments and new session-like. All version protocols
are handled by the since protocol version is now set using
snmp_session_open.
