Compiles future PHP to today's PHP.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

After adding the compiler to your project via `composer require xp-framework/compiler`, it will hook into the class loading chain and compile `.php`-files on-demand. This keeps the efficient code-save-reload/rerun development process typical for PHP.

Example
-------

[](#example)

The following code uses Hack language, PHP 8.6, PHP 8.5, PHP 8.4, PHP 8.3, PHP 8.2, 8.1 and 8.0 features but runs on anything >= PHP 7.4. Builtin features from newer PHP versions are translated to work with the currently executing runtime if necessary.
