Hi Saki
One advantage of a new API is that it could be more efficient than the current API.
The current API takes input as strings and outputs strings as a result, and therefore always has to
reconstruct the BCMath internal state.
By keeping everything inside an object you could keep the internal state, improving performance.
Whether it makes a difference in practice, I don't know.
Kind regards
Niels
