prettyphp reorders statements following PHP open tags and comments on the same line

[nox]

The following snippet of code from CodeIgniter is badly reordered on pretty-printing:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class myBasket extends MY_Restricted_Controller { … }

It becomes:

if (!defined('BASEPATH')) {
  exit('No direct script access allowed');
}
<?php

class myBasket extends MY_Restricted_Controller {
  …
}

This is due to PHP open tags being considered as comments in the aesthetics machinery of ast_pp_build.
