A change like this would require an RFC. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto

I need to deal with precision higher than double.
C/C++ provides long double, with gcc on linux, most negative value of a long double is
3.362103E-4932, and max value of a long double is 1.189731E+4932.
I hope PHP provides "long double" in the coming version.
