Comment (by DJPaul):

 Cool. Questions:

 * What is `getenv( 'TRAVIS' )`?
 * Does WP's own unit tests pass with HHVM? I thought about adding HHVM
 last time I touched the file but on reflection I decided until we *know*
 WordPress itself works properly on HHVM, it wasn't worth us testing
 against.
 * Similarily, if we decide to test against HHVM and there are errors, do
 we care enough about HHVM to fix them?
  * If we do, we should make a plan to make that happen, and have someone
 responsible for fixes.
  * If we don't, what's the point running the tests? If someone wanted to
 start making it work, they could run the tests in their local HHVM-enabled
 environment.

 We should probably also wait until the current issue with LIKE_ESCAPE is
 resolved so we have passing tests before we apply any of these proposed
 changes to the config. :) https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10041
