`php -a` treats lines starting with `#` as comments when deciding if
the provided statement is valid.
So it passed `#[MyAttr]` to the parser after the user hits enter,
causing a syntax error for multi-line statements..
With this patch, the following snippet is parsed correctly
```
php > #[Attr]
php > function x() { }
php > var_export((new ReflectionFunction('x'))->getAttributes()[0]->getName());
'Attr'
```

readline
Provides generic line editing, history, and tokenization functions. See https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.readline.php
Implementation Details
C variables starting with rl_* are declared by the readline library
(or are macros referring to variables from the libedit library).
See http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/rlman_2.html
This should only be used in the CLI SAPI. Historically, the code lived in sapi/cli, but many distributions build readline as a shared extension. Therefore, that code was split into ext/readline so that this can dynamically be loaded. With other SAPIs, readline is/should be disabled.
readline_cli.c implements most of the interactive shell(php -a).
