I don't think there's an RFC, but Nikita wrote at length about it and
created a PHP extension to allow for users to define their own methods on
primitive types:

http://nikic.github.io/2014/03/14/Methods-on-primitive-types-in-PHP.html

This work was then used by Ross Riley who has attempted to define what
these methods should be:

https://github.com/rossriley/php-scalar-objects

Hope this helps.
