Comment:

 Actually, now that I look into it, you should probably just be using a PHP
 namespace, or some kind of variable prefix if you are going to use
 globals.

 I don't think that global is actually used anywhere in core except in a
 very specific circumstance in `/wp-includes/template-loader.php`.

 I'm going to close as wontfix, as core cannot account for every
 theme/plugin's use of vaguely named global variables.
