Re: ext/gd: support creation of animated GIFs

We have to face facts: Resources are still a thing. While there is talk of switching resources to use opaque objects, I'm worried about introducing a mixture of objects and resources in random places throughout core exts, and having exts with both seems very strange to me. I know that this has already started to happen, but before it goes any further I would implore you to stick to resources for now.

The more things are made objects now, the less things need to be converted to be objects later. It might be “strange” to mix them, but would it actually cause confusion? So far as the user cares, resources and objects returned by Gd could just be integers. They're just opaque handles. Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds https://ajf.me/
