[TYPO3-core] Wrapper methods around globals?

[Nicole Cordes]

Hi, 

I can't say anything about the performance but we used to do this for unit
testing as this ist he only way tob e able to mock certain global variables.

Hopefully there will be some other solutions for GLOBALS in IDE asap.

BTW: I was thinking about an core PhpStorm meta data file which we could
provide as well?


Best regards,
Nicole

I do not think that a function call to return a variable vs access the
variable directly would be comparable in performance impact to any of
hundreds useless database calls we do during user auth for each request. 
So, I say, go for your change. It is useful.
