cli: Automatically execute Closures returned from primary script

[TimWolla]

Does this require an RFC?

[Girgias]

I don't think this needs an RFC, but we may want to punt this to PHP next?

I'm okay with that. Given that Beta 3 is already out and the next version is RC 1 this would be super late otherwise.

[TimWolla]

A possible alternative to this might be doing something similar to Python: Defining a __MAIN__ constant with the __FILE__ of the first script. This might also allow frameworks and applications to replace their existing “was I loaded from the main entrypoint” checks (such as phpBB’s IN_PHPBB constant):

if (__MAIN__ === __FILE__) {
    main();
}

[Girgias]

Implementation looks good to me. I guess some of the other details might need some discussion on the mailing list.

Does php_execute_script_ex not set this to UNDEF?

[TimWolla]

I don't trust passing values to zval_ptr_dtor() unless I initialize them myself.

Fair enough, I'll start a thread after the hard freeze.
