I agree this does defeat the purpose, but ... the is something better in
the next release.

Once again i am going from memory, but there is a new method in the
common class(?) called register_var (or something).  It checks the
$HTTP_*_VARS (GET/POST/COOKIE in that order) for the named variable and
registers it in the $GLOBALS array.  

Just thought people might be interested
