] Subject: [PHP-DEV] [Proposal] Idea for Application level variables

I would love to see an application level superglobal.  It's the one
thing I miss about ColdFusion.  Like with CF's shared-scope variables,
locking will be key, to avoid corruption.  (Reading while being
written to.)

I'm currently using PEAR Cache_Lite with a named group to emulate but
it lacks ease of use.
