Are there any plans to add support for MPFR <http://www.mpfr.org/> on

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.
True... but I'm wondering if you've spotted bigint on your travels, Edward?

And no, it's not in PECL CVS (I just found).
