I am the one who put that code in, actually when $HTTP_SESSION_VARS
support was added. I don't quite remember why it was done this way, but
I'm all for consistency. The question is what should it do if
register_globals is on and user doesn't set $HTTP_SESSION_VARS directly,
but rather registers a global variable and expects it to be saved. More
precisely, what takes precedence when register_globals is on, the global
value or the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS value?
