Thanks for the ping. IMHO this is the stuff for 7.1. I actually saw the 
discussions previously, but was rather thinking you was targeting 7.1 as that 
was already the time of the feature freeze.

Please keep in mind that we effectively have two RCs to do the remaining 
stabilizations. And we probably should as much as possible. Because this patch 
it's rather an enhancement to the current functionality which is not indeed 
broken - I wouldn't see it as critical for 7.0. It should be voted (and 
discussed if necessary) for 7.1, so we don't loop away from our current 
situation.

BTW I also had a comment there in the PR about 
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1455/files#diff-c84859666ff690a113d55ef1899d8bf4R149
 - so if mode 0 ignores ndigits, why set it to 17 (or anything else). Seems 
like an unnecessary action, but snprintf is used quite frequently. But just as 
a notice on the side.

Regards

Anatol
