"The new variables are auto-globals - they're available in all function contexts" - Zeev

How hard would it be to allow a construct so that a developer could indicate that one or more variables was available in all scope.

I have a big "Enviroment" class that does everything from data processing, security, access control, page rendering, etc, etc, etc.  Its a huge pain to pass around a handle to my "$Env" variable all the time.  If the access control list needs to check something about the user, or the page needs to know which template it should be rendering, I need to traverse my heirarchy via this handle.  I'm tired of having references to it stored everywhere ;)

Any chance of getting this?

There are other requested that is duplicated from this one: #14712

Hope I got this idea right: What I want is a "super-static" variable available for a script at any time. In other words: a variable that is static on script-level and not on function level. Currently I am using a constant-named session without cookies, but of course this is kinda hacked workaround.
