If you're asking if there are any people working on a wrapper for this lib, the answer is: most likely no, since nobody have ever told us so. But your question apparently implies that there are some kind of secret plans, so I guess it would make sense to make it clear: there are no plans on anything, people post their proposals to this list and you can be pretty sure nobody is working on extension XXX if nobody mentioned it here. > This would basically solve a huge > deficiency in PHP's arbitrary precision mathematics, especially for > transcendential functions. If you know how exactly it would be useful and know what to do - well, you can start implementing it. Others might join you later. You don't have to have any special abilities or knowledge to plan the API, write an RFC etc. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
