I personally ignore PSR when it doesn't make sense to use it. They're nice for library
compatibility, but I will happily toss compatibility when it doesn't make sense to be
compatible. This might be one of those cases as there is no reason it has to be PSR compliant. In
fact, a wrapper may be written to make it compliant, if one so chooses. I suspect it is better to be
realistic and learn from the short-comings of PSR and apply those learnings here, vs. reiterating
them and "engraving them in stone" (so to speak).
