Has anyone looked at ways of tweaking pecl/http to work nicely with PSR-7? For instance, it would be a shame if an adapter were needed to make http\Message implement Psr\Http\Message\MessageInterface when they are so close in intent.

On the other hand, I guess declaring the compatibility would require baking the interface itself into the core/extension, which might be unpopular.
