In fact this is pretty much how I currently handle the situation. Of course it can be handled in the entry point script.
My point is, would the built-in server ever be used for anything other than local development? If not, then it would be a simple convenience to developers to have an automatic environment variable of "development" when launching the built-in server. Instead of manually creating this environment variable, it would just be there. Making for a more familiar development environment in comparison to Node environments.

$_ENV['APP_ENV'] = 'development';
}
```in your entry point script?
