Language-wise, I think, refactoring that system would be good. I guess
a refactoring is a register_globals-like project, which took 10 years
from first deprecations to final removal, since many people abuse it
and parameter handling is core to PHP.
For read-only access we already have an API: filter_input() etc., maybe
the interface could be made "nicer." GitHub shows 267,811 hits for
that, but only few "real" "productive" cases. From tutorials etc. this
doesn't seem to be widely accepted.
