A week of symfony #365 (23->29 December 2013)

This week, Symfony development activity focused on minor fixes and improvements, Twig continued working on HHVM compatibility and Silex allowed to use strings instead of constants for Monolog logging levels. Meanwhile, a lot of new discussions and proposals were initiated at the repository, such as simplifying the addition of request formats, improving the form debugger and decoupling Twig commands from Symfony.
