    Contrary to what everywhere else is expected, the code being

        php -r "cat script.php"

    because basically every PHP script starts with '<?'.
    Expected behaviour? I mean, does it make sense ?
Yes. Your example doesn't make sense because it will completely mess up with the quotes, and we have -f.

There's no reason to require <?php-open-tags, especially not since most input will be either dynamic or especially written for this. If we do want to require open-tags, make another option for it (e.g. -R).

    If so, it should be also clearly documented in the command
    line help.

Agreed.
