A real "standard library" in PHP, rather than a bunch of bridged C functions that exist for the legacy reasons Dan notes above.

I share Larry's feeling that perhaps the time is right to discuss a PHP
library written in PHP once more. The possible advantages are stacking up.

Even if we only manage to make this technically working and ship PHP 8
with an empty stub library it would be a major step. It could be
extended in subsequent 8.x releases.

We should not hijack this thread to discuss this though. Larry, since
you got this started again, I guess the honor is yours to write an
opening post and start a new thread? ;)
