Title: $this->getArtisan() caused infinite loop when calling a command from within a route or controller

When adding a command using:
Artisan::add(new NameCommand);
In the app/start/artisan.php file
And calling it from within a route, example:
Route::get('/', function() {
Artisan::call("name");
});
Caused an infinite loop when trying to resolve the Artisan.

Another solution is to add commands using:
$app['artisan']->add(new NameCommand);
in the app/start/artisan.php file
....

The call to $this->getArtisan() ocurred in an infinite loop when calling a
command from within a controller or route.
