I believe he means HTTP array such as $_GET $_POST $_REQUEST $_COOKIES

$_FILES is a bit bass-ackwards with the keys in an unexpected order,
when compared to those others.

It always struck me as odd, but I just shrugged and went on with life.

I don't think it's something you'd want to change at this point,
really, as the BC break would be quite painful.

I suppose one could duplicate the array with the keys arranged in a
more consistent order in another superglobal, but that's just begging
for confusion.
