> $_FILES (whose name is already method-agnostic) The name appears method-agnostic but the implementation obviously isn't. It works with multipart/form-data, which is tightly coupled with POST, but which isn't the only way to transfer files, not by a long shot. If you ignore the HTTP method you're being completely arbitrary if you still only decode form-data into $_FILES. For example we PUT and POST bytearray/binary files thousands of times per day. You can PUT application/xml as a valid file, heck, you can PUT a tarball, a great way to send multiple files. Would the enhanced $_FILES be populated in those cases? And if not, why not?
