Another wildly crazy idea would be to integrate gmp as a "large
number" format for PHP. Yes, I know this will require a significant amount
of work. Maybe for 4.1 :) But then we can say "PHP natively supports
arbitrarily large number" and give out scripts calculating 100! (that's
factorial) and doing RSA in PHP :) That would also solve all our
"integer<->float" problems. Can I dream a bit or not?
