Hi all,

I'm resurrecting my RFC to add libsodium as a core extension to PHP 7.2.

In response to feedback from Pierre Joye, I've outlined which parts of the
existing libsodium API I'd like exposed in the core extension. Most notably:

- Removed crypto_aead_aes256gcm_* because OpenSSL offers it
- Removed crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_* because crypto_aead_* is awaiting
the CAESAR winner https://competitions.cr.yp.to/caesar.html
- Removed crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_* because we have Argon2i now

If anyone would like to weigh in on this in the next few weeks, I'd greatly
appreciate it.

I'm also developing a polyfill for most of the API features (except
pwhash): https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat

Warm regards,
