It is possible, however I am not a big fan of its APIs. Mapping one to
one the library APIs may sound nice but it is actually not a good
thing in this case in my humble opinion. Many functions do not make
sense to expose directly or not using the same methods.

That being said, I like libsodium, used it in a couple of projects
(not php related) :)

Cheers,
