Once stable, i think that could be up to a debate :-)
For one, if this ends up being fast enough, I think it should definitely
be in the engine core. Accessing .NET/CIL will allow PHP to integrate
and leverage quite a few external technologies, and will allow it to
directly access *any* C library function call directly, or with a few
line wrapper.
But its a debate for when its more stable.
