Description:
------------
This is not bug, but a feature request. Since the release 4.1 we all use $_POST, $_GET, $_SESSION etc. for our scripting. I was just wondering why we do not use $_GLOBALS to access variables outside the class or function. 

I think this would fit better than $GLOBALS :)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$_REQUEST["foo"] = "foo";
$foo = "foo";

function foo() {
 echo $_REQUEST["foo"]; // Works
 echo $GLOBALS["foo"]; // Works
 echo $GLOBALS["foo"]; // Does not work
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Prints foos and an error.

We're not perl ;-) and therefore are not going to create another way of accessing globals while $GLOBALS perfectly does what we need.
