There is no need to go from new extension with a new unproven API to directly into core as first try. It's much better to try things out in for example PECL and then to promote it to a core extension when all the kinks are worked out.True, but in this case Dmitry clarified that the Api is mostly a mirror of the Python or Lua FFI implementations, and both have been already proven to work and satisfy most needs, so basically the wheel isn't been reinvented here, it could be said that this is an adaptation of the wheel which structure is already well known. By the way, Merry Christmas to all!
