Hi Aleksander,
Was BCMath\Number considered instead of BcNum?
Yes, that was one of the candidates. However, as far as I know, there are no
examples of PHP internal classes having namespaces.
Also, if use a namespace, the code will be written as `new Number()`, which is
likely to conflict with existing code. In fact, if take a look at GitHub Code
Search, you'll find 3.2k results.

This won't result in a BC Break, but it can be a bit difficult to use.
After reading https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaces_in_bundled_extensions
again I see it is a perfect case to apply it. While it's not a must, I
think we should go with BCMath/Number.
