Hi,

I took another pass at this RFC:
*https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pdo_float_type
<https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pdo_float_type>*

Most of the discussion in the last round was about fixed precision types.
Since there was a lot of disagreement around the right way to handle them,
I'd like to keep them out of this RFC. I know Matteo wanted to get them
into this RFC, but I'd rather do less if it increases the chances that a
group can agree. Nothing in this RFC should interfere with a future
implementation of fixed precision types.

I added a PR to show how this feature would be implemented. It should make
it clear that very little change is needed to open up this functionality. I
avoided mixing in type casts or any special formatting to keep things safe
and simple. This allowed me to streamline the examples in the RFC quite a
bit.

It would be helpful to get feedback from anyone who voted "no" previously,
but didn't comment in the thread. There's no need to talk through this RFC
again if everyone in that group wants fixed precision types to be included.

Thanks,
Adam
