[Console] Allow redefinition of application options descriptions
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: yes
Backwards compatibility break: no
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
This allows you to redefine an `InputOption` as long as it keeps the same semantic (same default, same name, same alias, same modes). There are two purposes:
- Modifying the description with a more accurate one
- Making sure the option appears in your commands' help
Concrete example: I often want to provide a verbose version of commands. It's an elegant and very common pattern, but I basically can't document what is going to happen if you do `--verbose` since the base Application already defines `--verbose`. Also the `--verbose` option does not appear when you do `console <command> --help`, which means people probably won't think of using that option.

[DependencyInjection] PhpDumper, fixes#2730
Hey, this PR fixes#2730, if no parameters are set, the constructor wont get passed a ParameterBag
Bug fix: yes (#2730)

Symfony2 tests pass: yes
3rd and last try ;) this time i think its all fine
Apache expects the response to already be in chunked format in that case,
which causes it to not deliver the streamed body.
If no Content-Length is set on the response, web servers will automatically
switch to chunked Transfer-Encoding, and handle the chunking for you.
Nginx does not share the issue that apache has, but will add the Content-
Length header too.

This test case fixes failures related to a signature change for ProfilerStorageInterface::find(). See: 1aef4e806b and 5f2226807c.
This was easily missed as the test case is skipped unless a MongoDB server is running.

[HttpFoundation] added support for streamed responses
To stream a Response, use the StreamedResponse class instead of the
standard Response class:
$response = new StreamedResponse(function () {
echo 'FOO';
});
$response = new StreamedResponse(function () {
echo 'FOO';
}, 200, array('Content-Type' => 'text/plain'));
As you can see, a StreamedResponse instance takes a PHP callback instead of
a string for the Response content. It's up to the developer to stream the
response content from the callback with standard PHP functions like echo.
You can also use flush() if needed.
From a controller, do something like this:
$twig = $this->get('templating');
return new StreamedResponse(function () use ($templating) {
$templating->stream('BlogBundle:Annot:streamed.html.twig');
}, 200, array('Content-Type' => 'text/html'));
If you are using the base controller, you can use the stream() method instead:
return $this->stream('BlogBundle:Annot:streamed.html.twig');
You can stream an existing file by using the PHP built-in readfile() function:
new StreamedResponse(function () use ($file) {
readfile($file);
}, 200, array('Content-Type' => 'image/png');
Read http://php.net/flush for more information about output buffering in PHP.
Note that you should do your best to move all expensive operations to
be "activated/evaluated/called" during template evaluation.
Templates
---------
If you are using Twig as a template engine, everything should work as
usual, even if are using template inheritance!
However, note that streaming is not supported for PHP templates. Support
is impossible by design (as the layout is rendered after the main content).
Exceptions
----------
Exceptions thrown during rendering will be rendered as usual except that
some content might have been rendered already.
Limitations
-----------
As the getContent() method always returns false for streamed Responses, some
event listeners won't work at all:
* Web debug toolbar is not available for such Responses (but the profiler works fine);
* ESI is not supported.
Also note that streamed responses cannot benefit from HTTP caching for obvious
reasons.

Just an idea: what about exposing flush() to twig? Possibly in a way that it will not call it if the template is not streaming. That way you could always add a flush() after your </head> tag to make sure that goes out as fast as possible, but it wouldn't mess with non-streamed responses. Although it appears flush() doesn't affect output buffers, so I guess it doesn't need anything special.
When you say "ESI is not supported.", that means only the AppCache right? I don't see why this would affect Varnish, but then again as far as I know Varnish will buffer if ESI is used so the benefit of streaming there is non-existent.

wonder what the use case is for streaming a response, very interesting.

@cordoval Common use cases are present fairly well by this RailsCast video: http://railscasts.com/episodes/266-http-streaming
Essentially it allows faster fetching of web assets (JS, CSS, etc) located in the <head></head>, allowing those assets to be fetched as soon as possible before the remainder of the content body is computed and sent to the browser. The end goal is to improve page load speed.
There are other uses cases too like making large body content available quickly to the service consuming it. Think if you were monitoring a live feed of JSON data of newest Twitter comments.

How does this relate the limitations mentioned in:
http://yehudakatz.com/2010/09/07/automatic-flushing-the-rails-3-1-plan/
Am I right to understand that due to how twig works we are not really streaming the content pieces when we call render(), but instead the entire template with its layout is rendered and only then will we flush? or does it mean that the render call will work its way to the top level layout template and form then on it can send the content until it hits another block, which it then first renders before it continues to send the data?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@lsmith77 this is why the ``stream`` method calls ``display`` in Twig instead of ``render``. ``display`` uses echo to print the output of the template line by line (and blocks are simply method calls in the middle). Look at your compiled templates to see it (the ``doDisplay`` method)
Rendering a template with Twig simply use an output buffer around the rendering.

@lsmith77: We don't have the Rails problem thanks to Twig as the order of execution is the right one by default (the layout is executed first); it means that we can have the flush feature without any change to how the core works. As @stof mentioned, we are using `display`, not `render`, so we are streaming your templates for byte one.

@Seldaek: yes, I meant ESI with the PHP reverse proxy.

How do streaming responses deal with assets that must be called in the head, but are declared in the body?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/12/21 09:52:12 -0800
@fzaninotto: What do you mean?
With Twig, your layout is defined with blocks ("holes"). These blocks are overridden by child templates, but evaluated as they are encountered in the layout. So, everything works as expected.
As noted in the commit message, this does not work with PHP templates for the problems mentioned in the Rails post (as the order of execution is not the right one -- the child template is first evaluated and then the layout).

I was referring to using Assetic. Not sure if this compiles to Twig the same way as javascript and stylesheet blocks placed in the head - and therefore executed in the right way.

I'm really happy you've got this into the core, it's a great feature to have! Good work.
* 2.0:
[Tests] Skip segfaulting form test
Rename test file
[BrowserKit] added missing @return PHPDoc for the Client::submit() method.
also test PHP 5.3.2, since this is the official lowest supported PHP version

Discussion
----------
[DependencyInjection] Parameters with spaces are not resolved
Bug fix: yes
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: no (not likely, according to convention)
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: #2884
`ParameterBag` currently resolves anything between two `%` signs, which creates issues for any parameters in the DIC that are legitimate text. This PR enforces the [documented parameter convention](http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/book/service_container.html#service-parameters) so that only `%parameters.with.no_spaces%` are resolved.
I was considering using instead `^%([^\w\._-]+)%$`, but felt that was too constricting & could easily introduce issues with existing applications.
