Good day, everyone.

I would like to request permission to create an RFC dedicated to the
asynchronous module for PHP.

Although the source code development is still in progress, a significant
part of it has already been written, and the initial tests are working
successfully. Therefore, I could start the documentation process if you
consider this topic relevant and interesting for the community.
A brief overview of what this RFC will cover:

   1. *True* asynchronous support for PHP core functions without additional
   "tricks."
   2. *Scheduler* and *Reactor* components, providing a C-API for PHP
   extensions to enable non-blocking I/O in plugins or core code.
   3. *User-Land API* that mirrors the C-API for PHP developers.
   4. Basic primitives for concurrent programming, such as *Channel* and
   *Iterator*.
   5. *Built-in* integration with the *LibUV* library.

The library is based on *Fiber*, extending and enhancing it to provide PHP
developers with a full set of tools for concurrent applications.

Have a great day!

Edmond
