Bug description: Create universal globals, esp HTTP_*_VARS
I'd love if it were possible to put variables into the global address space. This would be
especially useful for the HTTP_*_VARS series of variables, which are pretty contention free
namespace wise.
Could be a compile time option, php.ini option or something else.
Of course, a more complete solution would be to have a 'universal' keyword which moved
variables into a truly global address space, available to all functions. Not sure if this would be
really desirable.
