This will be documented as soon as we figure out where
to document it. Many months ago the predefined variables
section of the manual was redone and the vars are now
separated autoglobals.
Should this be documented under $GLOBALS or should a
new section be created? I'm thinking a new section
for "other" variables such as this. If you can think
of other vars and/or have a better idea please speak up.
