Description:
------------
In PHP 5.6 it seems that adding declare(ticks=1) and then using register_tick_function() would follow any includes and provide profiling information accordingly.

In PHP 7+ however it now seems I have to add declare(ticks=1) in every file. I use this for profiling every method call on a page load and can't now add this to each PHP file in my system (If they are in libraries etc.).

I can't find anything in the docs about changes that were made to this or an alternative method for profiling every tick in the application.

Test script:
---------------
Replication code can be found here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44440613/how-to-avoid-redeclaring-ticks-on-every-file-in-php-7?noredirect=1#comment75879747_44440613

Expected result:
----------------
Running php index.php I would expect to see 7

Actual result:
--------------
In PHP 5.6 I see 7 as expected
In PHP 7 I see 5

Please add the repro code on here instead of having to hunt for it on an external site with the possibility of the link going down.

Sure, no problem - although your recommendations say to link externally if its pver 20 lines so I couldnt paste it...

Replication code:

index.php

<?php

declare(ticks=1);
$count = 0;

register_tick_function('ticker');
function ticker() {
  global $count;
  $count++;
}

$foo = 'foo';
$bar = 'bar';

include dirname(__FILE__) . '/inc.php';

echo $count;

inc.php

$baz = "baz";
$qux = "qux";
