[RFC] [Discussion] Fix up BCMath Number Class / Change GMP bool cast behavior

> Added changes to RFC. It is a proposal to remove all rounding during calculations due to convenience issues and the fact that the functionality is "excessive" to begin with. > > To be precise, it will have the same truncation behavior as the existing BCMath function, making it impossible for users to change this behavior during calculations. If the user wants to perform rounding, they must always use the `round()` method. > > Regards, > > Saki

> Thank you. As one of the persons who had concerns about the API introduced in the first RFC all these changes make sense to me and clearly improve the API. I'll happily vote in favor of both votes.

> Added one more change to the RFC. > > Currently, there is no other expression for comparison in PHP called "comp”. The expression "cmp" is mainly used for functions, and the expression "compare" is used for class methods. > > e.g. > https://www.php.net/manual/ja/splpriorityqueue.compare.php > https://www.php.net/manual/ja/collator.compare.php > > Therefore, follow these conventions and rename `comp()` to `compare()`.
