But PHP_SCRIPT* comes in three flavours: no suffix, _INT and _EXT.

If you have a look at the implementation of PHP_SCRIPT in tslib_content you can see that both INT
and EXT are handled with a script marker in TYPO3's cache. For INT an object is stored (serialized),
for EXT it's data (both are non-cached *). The version without any suffix results always in an
include at render time (cached).

So USER_INT and PHP_SCRIPT_INT work in the same way. But USER and and PHP_SCRIPT do *not* work in
the same way. The only thing in common is that the
