> While there's some elegance with your execute_file (there'd definitely be benefits to one function instead of the four we have now), the extra options would spawn so much Daily WTF material it wouldn't be funny, and I think most people would just stick with include/require/*_once because there'd be a lot less effort in the common case.
I agree that the free-form tags could lead to much Daily WTF material,
but there's a simplett reason to reject it: The tags are hardcoded in
the lexer.
Making it anything can drop perfomance.

However, they could be possible as booleans, just as many of them are
now in php.ini.
And I like the idea of providing a function for auto escaping <?= echos.
