Re: set(compact('whatever'))
Nate, read the first post in this thread. It wasn't as simple as that. Sometimes, the just search the list remark doesn't wash. I did do a search after your earlier comment (that is, once I realised that Inflector was involved and so could refine the search). I found 2 threads which discussed the issue. Yet, in neither of them was there an explanation as to why. Anyway, no biggie.

Re: set(compact('whatever'))
I think the issue is PHP and not Cake.
To demonstrate the problem, try this...
public function setStuff($foo, $bar, $something_else) {
$foo = $foo;
$bar = $bar;
$something_else = $something_else;
$this-controller-set(compact('foo', 'bar', 'something_else'));
}
And I have no idea why PHP behaves that way, but it does.

Re: set(compact('whatever'))
Yeah, I guess that screws with the symbol table. I agree that seems a
bit buggy. But I don't follow your logic here. I'm not doing what you
have in your example. It's Cake, not PHP, that has the unexpected
behavior in my case.
Anyway, I figured out how to get around it, documentation be damned.

Re: set(compact('whatever'))
No, wait ... I have no idea at all what you're referring to. I just
realised that i had a typo when i ran what you posted. AFAICT, doing
this:
$foo = $foo;
$bar = $bar;
$something_else = $something_else;
... has absolutely no effect. I thought you were trying to point out
some PHP strangeness even though the lines are completely unnecessary.
If, instead you mean the, Undefined variable: something_else ...
notice, that's Cake doing that. And that's precisely what this is all
about. Cake's set() method passes the var name to Inflector, which
camelizes it.
Again, though, the workaround is to pass false as the second param.

Re: set(compact('whatever'))
So I just got a clue and stuck this right after my call to the component:
die(debug($this-viewVars));
It turns out that Cake sets loose Inflector upon the var names! What
kind of inane feature is that?!? And no flag to keep it from doing
so!
I think I'm going to have to break down and alter Cake core for this.
Please, someone talk me down from the ledge and explain to me why this
isn't a bug and I really should appreciate it.

The component also has this startup method:

(and, of course, a $controller member var)
Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be working--I'm getting
undefined vars in the view. Is there any reason why I couldn't set
view vars from the component like this? I know the vars are available
in the symbol table, of course, though I did put a debug(compact(...))
in there, just to be sure.

Re: set(compact('whatever'))
I was ruminating over the code while having dinner just now and
remembered something. I realised that set() does provide a way to
avoid Inflector having its way with one's var names:
00640 foreach ($data as $name = $value) {
00641 if ($name === 'title') {
00642 $this-pageTitle = $value;
00643 } else {
00644 if ($two === null is_array($one)) {
00645 $this-viewVars[Inflector::variable($name)] = $value;
00646 } else {
00647 $this-viewVars[$name] = $value;
00648 }
00649 }
00650 }
I just needed to pass false as the second param. 3 cheers for
undocumented features!
