I don't think WTF terminology fits here, as it's an extreme case of 
performance optimization and doesn't affect functionality.  Not 
exactly the interest of the average (and even advanced) user.  It's 
end-user (developer) transparent.  Irregardless, I actually think it 
makes perfect sense that if you ask PHP to do stuff with GET / POST 
variables on every request (register_argc_argv), it wouldn't make 
sense to JIT them.

So if we're talking about WTF, I don't see how it is an issue.  Are 
you also expecting to see a performance boost from that case?
