PHP code is probably not the best idea; to read it we'd need to execute the
file, which starts modifying the program state.

We could play tricks with dividing the file up into parts and executing part of
it, but honestly that just skeezes me out. :)

Metadata needs to be readable without executing any code, so we can pull it in
for all available extensions with no security risk.
