This proposal doesn't really fit with the current functions IMHO so in this case it doesn't make much sense to introduce it unless you would also add classes like OpenSSL\RSA , OpenSSL\EC\Key and so on. I think that having just BigNum in OpenSSL namespace is kind of strange as BN is just a supporting API in for crypto operations in OpenSSL... If it was a functional API, than it would probably fit better with current functions and it would just need to be integrated with openssl_pkey_new which is more achievable and would be a bit more consistent.
