Oh, and I almost forgot one wishlist item I've had on my list for a long
time (I hope you guys have an open mind)........

How about doubling integer precision to 64 bits and float/double precision
to 128 bits? It's in line with 64 bit CPU capabilities, and personally, I
wouldn't mind it a bit if it would make numerical processing in PHP slower
on 32 bit systems. I think the advantages are much too great for that. If
this is ever gonna happen, I think PHP6 would be great timing for it.

It would make falling back to the slow string-based bc match functions a lot
less common. Personally, I really like the idea of being able to count to
9223372036854775808 instead of 2147483648.
