Hi, internals!

I want to mention, that all existing internal API of Zend could be
accessible via FFI as of PHP7.4. This gives opportunity to implement
userspace operator overloading as a simple PHP package.

I know, that FFI requires some polishing, but it could become a tool to
create interesting extensions via Z-Engine or similar libraries. Just for
example, I have a repository
https://github.com/lisachenko/native-types which provides an example of
userspace operator-overloading for matrices (see __doOperation method
implementation at
https://github.com/lisachenko/native-types/blob/master/src/Matrix.php#L232-=
L276
)

Please share you thoughts about this.

Best regards,
Alexander
