Comment(by filosofo):

 I like the general idea of trying to move the WP_Query away from being
 overly dependent on globals.  Unfortunately there are huge backwards-
 compatibility issues.  Practically everybody assumes $post will be defined
 in the scope of a template file.  Lots of themes and theme examples use
 {{{$post->ID}}} to get the current post's ID within the Loop.

 Someday maybe.
