New Comment:
extract() doesn't perform urldecode() as proves this test case:
<?php
extract(array("a" => "%70"));
echo $a; // %70
?>
$_REQUEST and similar variables already contain urldecoded data.

It's true that nowhere is it mentioned that any variables from outside
PHP will be automatically urldecode()'ed... but isn't this expected
behaviour? When you pass a variable, whether through POST, GET or
Cookies, don't you want that variable to be as it was sent, rather than
encoded?
I know this might be confusing for people coming from other languages
(such as Perl), but doesn't it make sense to have it that way?

Description:

Running this code:

$_REQUEST is already url-decoded and couldn't find any documentation?
Reproduce code:

Expected result:
----------------
make clean when url-decoding is performed.
Actual result:
