Well, I think that there is a difference between tslib_pibase and e.g. 
tslib_content (and most other classes). tslib_pibase is what extdevs 
need to create their own FE plugins, as they're subclassing this class 
and can use this "feature" out of the box. On all the other cases 
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB'] is still fine.

Just trying to lowering the barrier to TYPO3 extension developing here...
