Patricio Tarantino has asked me to help him propose Operator Overloading in PHP 7.1 (based in part on my operator extension in PECL). I think we can expose this to usespace as magic methods with very little overhead (the runtime check and dispatch is already there, after all).
I do think that the "Future Expansion" section bears following through with as well, but the basic set of methods already hooked for GMP would be a nice start. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/operator-overloading -Sara -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
