It will also (IMNSHO) lessen the readability of the code. And slow down
things pretty much -- all that copying all over the place. I don't like it.
And $GET_A['var'] looks like a function pointer to some fetching function,
$POST['var'] would post $var somewhere... Dunno what would $COOKIE_A do. :)
PHP is my primary language (99% of time && work done in it).
