This goes back to the days of yore and combined with
b8320fdbb7 it causes issues. The specific
issue at hand was testing a helper that uses other aliased helpers
(HtmlHelper specifically). The core helper would always be loaded
instead of the aliased one.
$this->stdin->read(); will use readline if the system is detected to
support it. In linux, you will be able to use the left and right arrow
keys to edit the current line, use the up and down keys to navigate
history, press ^U to delete the entire line, etc.
Before this, using arrow keys in linux will just spam characters like
^[[C^[[A^[[D^[[C^[[A^. Useful for "Console/cake console"
Loading helpers earlier in View's lifecycle allows for the removal of
many duplicated code segments and a now useless property. It slightly
modifies how View behaves in a test case, but that issue is easily
remedied by calling loadHelpers() a second time.
This primarily fixes issues where helpers may not be loaded in View
subclasses if they override any of View's methods. This is particularly
problematic when aliased helpers are involved.

generate bigint primary keys correctly. Autoincrement cannot be set as
it only works with INTEGER columns[1]. I decided to use some string
manipulations as the entire SQL generation bits are a bit janky and I've
already re-written them for 3.0.

Closes #GH-1552
Writing assertContains() or assertRegExp for generated code is a pain and making the test cover most part of it is very difficult.
Things like:
```
} else {
}
```
Are very easy to happen (which was the case) and was not being covered by the test.
It now fails in PHP >= 5.5.2 . Also it never did anything in earlier
versions as the session would have already been started if auto_start
was true.
Fixes#4010
