I could imagine old code checking if STDOUT/STDERR is defined to determine if
they are running in CLI.
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?
