To bikeshed the name a bit: * We should probably avoid the word "post"; although it populates $_POST, that's really misnamed anyway, what we're really talking about is "form data" * Even if there isn't a current category prefix where it belongs, it should probably follow the "category_specific" naming scheme * We might in future add some related functions, such as returning the data rather than populating globals How about "request_form_populate_globals"?
