Polyfill package for ext-imap #591
Description
Feature
As php team decided to unbundle imap ext from php-src [1] the development of the ext slowed down.
I would be happy if there could be a polyfill package to drop-in replace the native imap ext functions.
I belive this library already provides most of the coded needed.
Expected behaviour
New repo/composer package that can be required by a php project and imap-ext dependency dropped.
The composer package will be lightweight and will depend on this package (webklex/php-imap), ie. will provided the binding between the native imap ext functions and this package.
Then native functions like imap_open or imap_list will continue to work as if native imap ext is installed. This should be tested by running all native tests [2] againts this polyfill.
