 Right, ideally that'd all be wrapped in a class and store that data in
 properties instead of just dumping them into the global space.

 Also note, your implementation would need to do something similar. Right
 now you wrap the superglobals directly, which carries with it whatever
 baggage WordPress is dumping into those (as well as any damage done to
 them by plugin authors etc. - I once manually unslashed the GPCS values,
 before I understood why they were being magic quoted even though the
 php.ini setting was off - I've seen others do that, and I actually wonder
 how many plugins still do it).
