Description:
------------
Saying that a c-constant defined in pseudo-main is a "superglobal" is
confusing. I understand it's trying to say that it is always in scope,
but this clashes with php.net which only uses the term "superglobal" to
refer to special variable tokens ("$GLOBALS", "$_SERVER", etc) that will
be always treated as referring to a global variable instead of a local
variable. A few sentences later this is phrased more clearly/correctly
saying "A constant defined at the pseudo-main level has script scope".
(This may have been fixed already).
