The lie in PHP defines is that they are declared at runtime, not compile
time. Noone who has a workable implementation laid out is including
execution of the namespace scope as part of their plan. Can define() be
reimplemented as a mixed runtime/compile-time construct? Yes. But that
creates a whole mess of a pickle.
