So the idea now is to inappropriately force everything to be a class?

Yes, and in even larger scale applications it can become even more useful. I have a web framework I'm working on, it's about 9,500 lines of code now with hundreds of functions/classes. Every function/method has to specify global for my 3 universal variables which contain large arrays of configuration information. With this, I can say "superglobal $mod, $sec, $cfg" in my root include file, and not worry about it again.
class Config {
    const FOO = "Bar";
} function oink() {
    if (Config::FOO == 'Bar') {
        echo "OINK";
    }
} etc. IMO, you really don't need more superglobals. S
