Hi everyone,

I've updated the RFC to make libsodium a core PHP extension in 7.1, to
include references to the online documentation.

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/libsodium

All new functions and classes would exist in the Sodium namespace. e.g.

    $ciphertext = \Sodium\crypto_box($message, $nonce, $keypair);

This is part of an overall effort to improve PHP's cryptography; up
next will be the pluggable crypto API that supports multiple backends
(with a scope limited to openssl and libsodium at the time of release)
but always provide conservative defaults. Then I'd like to look at
deprecating ext/mcrypt back to PECL and add more hash functions to
ext/hash.
