Description:
------------
Using include/require in a loop causes horrible preformance, because of the additional stat, file read, and opt-code compile on every loop iteration.

PHP really needs a method to do compile-time includes/requires as well as the current run-time include/require.

I would like to be able to do #include like in C and have the compiler insert the contents of the file into the script BEFORE compilation.

This shouldn't be a complicated feature addition, and it would make life alot easier when developing with large projects with alot of reusable code.


Reproduce code:
---------------
for( $i = 0; $i < 1000; $i ++ ) {

// I want run this code by including the file
// But this code is not appropriate to make a function for
// And its very long, so I dont just want to paste the code inside
// this loop because it makes developement more confusing

include '/www/some_code_snippet.php';


}

Expected result:
----------------
Although I knew include was a run-time event, I was hoping
behavior to #include in C.



Actual result:
--------------
Tracing the code, I found it produced 1000 file stats, 1000 file reads, and 1000 opt-code compiles
