How about some disclosure here :)
I see no reason to put them in at the language level -- PEAR seems a
suitable place for the extensions (once pear is setup). They're not
really used that commonly (from what I can see). Also, these
extensions are not the only way to process payments with PHP, plenty
of sites do it different ways (I processed payments with PHP before
these extensions existed).
