Some really want it, let's define the most efficient/least ugly types of hacks :) For example with get, checking phpversion, then appropriatly defining $_GET = &$HTTP_GET_VARS. And in a function, do: global $_GET. Now mimicking $_SESSION functionality is another story, eww, maybe that's going too far. Regarding the extract() idea, please clarify a little more.
