What's the benefit of having this made inside PHP itself?
It's perfectly possible to share a common interface across projects
even if not native to PHP.

It's quite easy to create a PECL extension for that, that would suites
your need regardless of PHP version, but again, I don't really see the
benefit of doing that in C, at the core of PHP.
