Views Exporter doesn't create a ready to use code. It ommits <?php tags

I'm using Views 2.12, I don't know if this is specific to my version or if it is something more general.

I tried to export a custom view using the Views Exporter. It gave me the code to copy/paste into foo.info foo.module and foo.views_default.inc but the module didn't work.

It took me a while to find the problem (I'm no coder...) and I fixed it by adding the starting <?php tag in the begging of foo.module and foo.views_default.inc

So now I have

<?php
/**
 * Implementation of hook_views_api().
 */
function foo_views_views_api() {

and

<?php
/**
 * Implementation of hook_views_default_views().
 */
function foo_views_views_default_views() {

I suggest that the exporter adds these by default, so that the resulting code is ready to run once pasted into the module files.
