Comment:

 I was bouncing that around my head while working on OnceForm - if you
 encourage users to use an alternative method for retrieving the CPCS data
 (OnceForm does this for example), there's hope the auto-slashing behavior
 can be retired at some point.

 This should be a publicly advocated API (for plugin developers), not just
 something used within core.

 Once it's in there, you may even be able to do some fancy plugin repo
 searches for the existing super globals, and at least get an audit of how
 many plugins are actually affected by this.
