I would like to see an extension that doesn't contain the
backwards-compatibility breaking changes in the RFC. Every function,
type, and constant should be namespaced according to the extension.
For instance, if you want to call it ext/rng, then the namespace can
be rng or Rng or RNG.No exceptions for now! The previous
proposal had namespace things, and un-namespaced things, and breaking
changes, and I don't think that made a cohesive proposal.
Also, php-src generally doesn't suffix interfaces with the name
"Interface". Please provide another name for RNGInterface, like
RandomNumberGenerator or RNG.
