Runtime\PS\Core\Shutdown

Description

Package core holds the part of PHP's standard library that computes: strings, arrays, json, the language constructs exposed as functions, the tokenizer, the environment and the platform surface a program reads before it does anything interesting. It also holds the phpscript extensions that are each too small to be worth a package: SharedMemory, defer and register_shutdown_function.

The line against stdlib/ps/compat is behavioural, not historical: compat holds the surface whose behaviour is the interpreter's (output buffering, preg_*, the date functions), core holds the surface whose behaviour is its own.

Every file registers its own area from its own init() and adding, moving or dropping an area touches no other file. Importing the package is what wires them in, the way a program imports a database/sql driver:

import _ "github.com/titpetric/phpscript/stdlib/ps/core"

stdlib/imports.go does that for you.
