Comment (by MikeSchinkel):

 Replying to [comment:13 CaptainN]:
 > A comment on that implementation though - I'd prefer lower case function
 names (_get, _post, _request) to uppercase, because I think if these are
 lower case, it'll be less likely to be confused with the real superglobals
 at a glance.

 The reason I like uppercase is because I think `_get()`, `_post()`,
 `_request()` would too easily get lost in other code and it would be
 harder for developers ''(like me)'' to see them while scanning.  But it
 all depends on what the decision makers think I guess, and I'm not one. :)

 > Maybe this is less of an issue, but I'd also like to see little else
 other than a wrapper around the actual superglobals. In other words, it
 should behave pretty much exactly as the PHP standard on which it's based.

 What do you propose for accessing not existent elements; throwing an
 error?  Personally I would hate to loose the opportunity to finally have a
 standard way to cleanly get a default value.
