Suppose PHP had a superglobal $_CLEAN which was an empty array. Further suppose it was documented in the manual as *the* place to put your scrubbed data. This rather small and hopefully inexpensive change (in terms of PHP Dev/Docs team work) would quite possibly improve scripts by newbies, simply by nudging them in the proper direction, because it would be a documented feature, and it would have all the nifty cross-links in the manual and all that. It would also help to keep code cleaner to have $_CLEAN be a superglobal rather than just something I made up and have to declare as "global" all the time. Comments? Suggestions? Derogatory remarks?
