I think that this is a clear example of "the enemy of good is the even
better" (I'm not sure how well this translates to English :). We need to
keep this function simple, and that way, it clearly isn't. If you want
three different scopes, use 3 calls. If you want register_globals-like
behavior only prefixed, use import_globals("GPC", "form_"). KISS should be
our guiding light here.
