I doubt it.
We haven't even gotten everybody to get rid of register_globals and
switch to $_GET['foo'] instead of $foo yet.
The register_globals change at least had a clear Security reasoning
behind it, once one understood the problem.
[Though I confess I was in denial for ages since I always initialize
variables.]
If we change this around yet again, it will be disastrous, imho.
Please, who said we will *drop* the GPC array? That's exactly what I
try to avoid. What I say is to __add__ something like that, not to
replace gpc.
