well, if you have a long and complex function declaration which begins
with global $whatever, and then all over the function $whatever is used,
some dozens of lines later when looking for something in the code you
might not have any idea that $whatever is global... however if you used
$GLOBALS['whatever'] everywhere it would be trivial.
