Okay, to me you sounded very rude so i thought you just want to rant,
but I'm (quite obviosuly) no native english speaker, so the error is
on my side, sorry.

Just as a note: I think the word you mean is "prerogative", but it's
something i neither have nor want to have.

To get back on topic:

I agree I with that having $smarty.request is a bad thing. But I'm -1
