    You are understanding it correctly, the only thing that's missing
is the population.  The variables are defined (set), but not all are
populated.  $GLOBALS is a superglobal, you're right; globals set from
userland scripts are not superglobals, but do wind up in the $GLOBALS
array.  Thus, all superglobals are globals, but not all globals are
superglobals.
