That's an additional magic incantation people have to learn to add to the start of every file. In PHP, that magic incantation is invisible because they never have to type it or even know that it exists.

Maybe new devs should learn Perl, instead... http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/Acme-Everything-1.01/lib/Acme/...
