Bug description: $_FILES and other global array are not documented
The $_FILES array is the worst of these. Its existence can be deduced only
by looking at the naming scheme of the new arrays versus the old one (or
typing $_FILES in Google!), but it'd be nice to see this nifty new feature
documented. I figure the main reason people people still use $postvar
instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS['postvar'] is because of lazyness, so at least
$_POST['postvar'] will help wrangle them in the right direction. Maybe.
Anyways... here are a couple of places where it would have been nice to
see some info.
