For consistency with other autoglobals, $GLOBALS shoudl also be accessible by $_GLOBALS. (or become $_GLOBALS, but this would break many scripts...)

I move to opt against this, as BC would be broken with scripts using $_GLOBALS against an older version of php.  It'd be good for consistency, but sometimes we have to substitute consistency for compatibility.

$GLOBALS is also kind of a variable of it's own.  It contains all globals, as opposed to the individual superglobals containing their sets.  $GLOBALS serves it's purpose just fine.
