Hey Andrey,

I'm not surprised by the suggestion for targeting 8.0, but perhaps we

then remove it entirely in 8?
I hate to say INI directives, but that's surely one way for a
smoother
transition.
Another approach I'd previously thought of was to keep in memory
whatever
information would be needed to undo the mangling process for the
superglobals, and provide a function which would undo it. Then in 8.x
it
could become a no-op.
Sounds hacky to me. Plus, a function call means we can't have
environments that do it by default pre-8.0, and that in turn means a
harder migration.
But hey, as long as we get rid of the mangling, I wouldn't really care
that much! :)
Cheers,
Andrey.
Someone has to say this ;), so:
Why not a new API?
You could provide access to parameters with same name instead of
overwriting the existing; consider a=0&a[]=1&a[0]=2&a=3, where each
part overwrites the previous one and the result is a=3.
You could provide support for JSON input.
You could create all kinds of crazy bloat.
