I understand that's not ready for review yet but quickly checked the code anyway. Is there some particular reason why this is not an extension? Think it might actually make sense to split it to two extensions - one for the core main stuff (that could be enabled by default) and then libuv optional part - similar to pdo for example. I haven't checked too deeply the code though so I might be missing things. Feel free to create a draft PR even if it's not ready. It might help to get some initial pre-reviews... :) Regards Jakub
