New parameter parsing functions
===============================
Fast Parameter Parsing API
==========================
It should be easier to parse input parameters to an extension function.
Hence, borrowing from Python's example, there are now a set of functions
that given the string of type specifiers, can parse the input parameters
and store the results in the user specified variables. This avoids most
of the IS_* checks and convert_to_* conversions. The functions also
In PHP 7, a "Fast Parameter Parsing API" was introduced. See
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/fast_zpp
This API uses inlining to improve applications performance compared
with the zend_parse_parameters() function described below.
