There currently is a keyword "use" in the engine, reserved for future
use:

1.1          (zeev     29-Oct-00):      |       `T_USE` [...]

With all the discussions about errors and ini settings, why not use use
to put PHP into different modes on a per-script-basis?

Some ideas that came to my head:
- use strict;
  => bail on undefined string- / array offsets / undeclared variables?

- use exceptions;
- use error::mode(exceptions, E_ALL);
- use error::mode(exceptions, E_WARNING);
  => Use exceptions instead of zend_error

- use sybase::magic_quotes;
  => Enable feature

- use ini::default_mime_type('text/xml');
  => Use it to set PHP_INI_ALL entries

- use oop::implicit_clone;
  => Activate BC features

- use lang::float_seperator(',');
  => Change EG(float_seperator)

- use oop('php', *);
  => Declare we want to use (import) the built-in classes

- use error::handler('my_error_handler');
  => Replace `set_error_handler()`

- use globals;
  => Auto-populate $_* variables

...
