Hello internals,

I'd like to introduce a new RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/operator_overrides_lite which extends the GMP extension to support a limited set of operator overriding to developers. It's designed to be limited and relatively simple, while still being quite powerful. It would only be available if you have the GMP extension installed and enabled, but would allow for creating powerful unit libraries (such as representing money, duration, etc).

I'm very interested in your feedback!

This was initiated from a discussion in another thread: https://externals.io/message/123872

Thanks for your time,

Rob Landers
