Comment:

 I think passing `$data` or `$args` down the chain is worse than importing
 globals. `load_template()` imports a bunch of globals, that's how function
 scope in PHP works. Is it better to import those variables using an
 argument to `load_template()`? That's not even the question being asked,
 the question is how to jam more data in there, and the answer is simple:
 import those globals in your function. If you hate global scope, limit
 your app's global pollution to one object - for instance, I use an
 `$emusic` global variable (`stdClass`), and I have a `get_emusic()`
 function to retrieve it, so I import zero globals, yet always have access
 to them:

 {{{
 function where_are_my_vars() {
      $vars = get_emusic()->right_here;
 }
 }}}
