While there are now other ways to do it it would probably be a minor BC break to now defined them. Turning the question around: As there is already a way of accessing STDOUT/STDERR with php://, should we introduce a BC break? Side-note: If we decide to now define the constant for all SAPIs, should defined('STDOUT') etc. throw some sort of warning so code checking for it can be found more easily? - Chris
