Will be cool if a new language constructor set global scope to a variable, like $_REQUEST, $_POST, etc.

This "forever global" constructor should work with every type of variable (array,object,resource,string, etc)

So,

<?PHP

$smarty->template_dir = "/lib/here/";
forever $smarty;

function something() {
// output "/lib/here";
 print $smarty->template_dir;
}

// output "/lib/here";
 print $smarty->template_dir;

class foo {
function other () {
// output "/lib/here";
 print $smarty->template_dir;

}
}

Thanx.
