Feature Request: Make Tensor Compatible with PIE (PHP Installer for Extensions)

[takielias]

Hello @andrewdalpino,

PIE (PHP Installer for Extensions) is a new tool that simplifies the installation and management of PHP extensions. It enables developers to treat PHP extensions like Composer packages by hosting them on Packagist with a proper composer.json file.

To make the Tensor extension more accessible and modern, I would like to request its compatibility with PIE. This would involve adding the necessary metadata for Packagist, ensuring seamless integration with the PIE installer.

Adopting PIE compatibility would simplify Tensor’s installation and management, greatly benefiting the community and expanding its usability.

How to make your packages compatible with PIE ?

Would you consider exploring this enhancement?

Thank you!

Do you understand why pecl and composer.json are needed?
