Bug description:  __MAIN_FILE__ constant

Description:
------------
Today we have __FILE__ constant, that has the string fileName of the
current scrit. Would be nice a constant __MAIN_FILE__, wich has the file
name of the first requested PHP file.
So would be possible to do things like this, without use of external
library, and is interesting to everyone:

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

// class File

class Foo {}

if(__MAIN_FILE__ == __FILE__) {
// run some tests and usabe examples with Foo
}

?>

or used to include relative paths to an application, without define
constants

<?

// included script

require_once dirname(__MAIN_FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
"path/to/include/file.php";

?>
