Hands Up everyone ?!!

who would like a switch to ON/off Globals
ie whether {$smarty.get.FOO}, $smarty.server.SERVER_NAME} et all are
exposed as a $smarty->request_use_globals; //true by default
eg
$smarty->request_use_globals(false); // disable all Globals
$smarty->request_use_globals( array('server','get' )) ; // only server+ get


to go with
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.smarty.php
and
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/variable.request.use.auto.globals.php
(who uses $REQUEST_N? anymore ??
and
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/variable.security.settings.php

just an idea to digest
