Agree, libc, openssl etc. are not algorithms and the name should reflect the used algorithm not the name of the library. Implementing it as an extension is ok - but the proposal also was to have more possibilities without bc using the default build-in functions. Additionally it would be great to have one standard API other extension can attach it's own algorithm to.
