Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] What to do with opaque GMP objects which allows
 instantiation

My preference would be this (without any target branch preference):

If there is no technical reason to disallow creating new GMP objects via 
'new', then I believe that making those objects behave more like 
"regular" / "userland" objects is a good thing.
