Why is this PR scoped to the CLI SAPI? Shouldn't it apply equally to
any SAPI's top-level script?
The “file is both a library and executable” use case is only really a
thing for a single-file deployment, because otherwise you could just
separate the executable bit into a different file. I believe that making
a library do something useful when executed directly is something that
would work for the CLI SAPI. In web contexts, where the front-controller
pattern is already well-established and where you generally have an
allow-list of legal entrypoints (mostly just your front-controller) for
security reasons I don't see it working well.
