Hi,

My recent RFC to add var_representation to core failed 9-10 recently with conflicting objections.

I'd like to add this as a PECL.
Are there any objections?

Repo: https://github.com/tysonandre/var_representation (functionality is as described in that RFC)
Motivation: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/readable_var_representation#introduction (much more readable output, faster than userland, etc.)
Potential future scope: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/readable_var_representation#future_scope
(plans for PECL functionality are limited to generating/outputting machine or human readable representations of values)
Proposed PECL name: var_representation

My PECL account is https://pecl.php.net/user/tandre - I'm a lead on the igbinary, ast, and runkit7 projects

Thanks,
Tyson
