Description:
------------
I would deeply appreciate it if I could write a PHP shell script without the PHP required tags.

As far as implementing this, make it a command line option for the CLI (--notags).

PHP is a powerful language that could be more easily used for system shell scripts with this ability.  I would be able to write a script as follows:

#!/usr/bin/php --notags
<<code>>

rather than as:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
  <<code>>
?>

You should read the output of: php -h

The only option there that is approaching relevent is -r, but that requires some form of quoting to prevent the shell from parsing it, and it requires that every line have a backslash (\) just prior to the new line.

This was brought up before a couple of times, and it was decided that we will not add this.
