Hi Larry,
Thanks for your feedback.
I've reworked the introduction at
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/num_available_processors and hopefully the use
case is a bit clearer now.

Hi everyone,
I'm happy to share my first RFC :) It proposes adding a small function
to retrieve the number of available processors; a feature that's
commonly found in other programming languages and one that I believe
would be a useful addition to PHP.
The related PR has already received a bit of early traction, and now
that the RFC is complete, I'm looking forward to your feedback!

I don't really have a problem with adding a function to expose this
value, in concept. But what is the use case, exactly? The RFC
mentions something about php-cs-fixer in passing in half a sentence,
but doesn't explain it further. Please explain further what value this
has for core, rather than the parallels extension. (In the RFC, not
just here on list.)
