Description:
------------
The documentation for gmp_add() for example:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gmp-add.php

Says about parameters:

> It can be either a GMP number resource, or a numeric string given that it is possible to convert the latter to a number.

So the function signature is wrong.

Expected result:
----------------
resource gmp_add ( resource|string $a , resource|string $b )

Actual result:
--------------
resource gmp_add ( resource $a , resource $b )

Please note that this needs to be fixed in all gmp_* functions, not just gmp_add().

This is going to get even messier in PHP 5.6, since the resources are changing to objects. We'll have to figure out the best way to document this.

PhD won't really let us do the resource|GMP|integer|string syntax (even if it was a good idea, which it probably isn't with that many types), and I'd rather not go with "mixed" here.

I've changed these to "GMP" as part of the prep for PHP 5.6.0, but I think that's about the best we can do.
