There's not even a Python implementation of the code described by that
document; it's purely vapor at this point.  That said, a PHP
implementation would be great.  I don't have the PHP skillz to say if
this is the right sort of API for PHP.  I tried to make it "Pythonic"
so it'd be natural to use in all of our existing Python projects.


Do you know what sort of testing support PHP has?  One thing I really
want for the Python version is a full test suite (hence writing the
docs/tests first).  I think that'd probably be desirable for a PHP
implementation, too.
