I know but... you never know what might they decide.

I found interesting alternative that will work quickly and effectively
though so I'm sharing it here:

import_request_variables("gP", "rvar_");

and later...

print $rvar_foo;

seems very nice and you can alter priority of get, post or cookie if
required. or import only some of the arrays... or all.. or whatever. i like
it :)
