New Comment:
The general consensus seems to be that this feature will not be added.
A simple workaround which you can implement in your code to achieve the
'neatening up' you're going for is:
function bar() {
global $aVeryLongVariableName;
$foo = &$aVeryLongVariableName;
/* This will successfully increment the value of
$aVeryLongVariableName */
$foo++;
}

optionaly add 'as' to the global keyword, in the same way that SQL 'as'
works:
global $aVeryLongVariableName as $foo
It would neaten alot of code, would not break old scripts, I imagine
your passing a ref into the code block, this is just specifying the
handle used :)
