 We have this in wp-settings.php:

 {{{
 $wp_query =& $wp_the_query;
 }}}

 This was necessary in PHP4, but in PHP5 it makes it easy to overwrite
 $wp_the_query by accident:

 {{{
 // tra la la, some template file

 $wp_query = new WP_Query( ... );
 }}}

 and in general it obscures the fact that `$wp_the_query` should remain
 frozen.
