No, I am not.  This RFC involves the operators, not the functions.
Addition, division, multiplication, subtraction.  The PHP math
functions will behave as they always have.

I do use it.  It's a pain in the ass to read because you have to LISP
nest all the operations.  You can't tell me this is easy or intuitive
to read...

bcadd( bcsub( $bill['penalty'], $bill['rounding'], 2),bcmul(
$bill['taxdue'], bcmul( $penalty, $monthsAhead, 2 ), 2 ), 2 )

Compared to

$bill['penalty'] - $bill['rounding'] + $bill['taxdue'] * $penalty *
$monthsAhead;

You can do it, but it's eye bleeding.
