Here's an idea... Quite possibly half-baked.

Suppose PHP had a superglobal $_CLEAN which was an empty array.

Further suppose it was documented in the manual as *the* place to put
your scrubbed data.

This rather small and hopefully inexpensive change (in terms of PHP
Dev/Docs team work) would quite possibly improve scripts by newbies,
simply by nudging them in the proper direction, because it would be a
documented feature, and it would have all the nifty cross-links in the
manual and all that.

It would also help to keep code cleaner to have $_CLEAN be a
superglobal rather than just something I made up and have to declare
as "global" all the time.

Comments? Suggestions? Derogatory remarks?
