Good question, I had a chat with Tim as I thought it was similar to the
md5()/sha1() functions.
Moreover, the crc32() function returns an int, whereas the equivalent of the
hash extension
returns a string, so to get the same behaviour one needs to do:
hexdec(hash('crc32b', $str));
It might still make sense to add it to the RFC, but it would need to be its own
section with
its own rationale.
