[TYPO3-core] Wrapper methods around globals?

[François Suter]

Hi all,

In a patch I submitted this morning [1], I added a wrapper method around 
$GLOBALS['BE_USER'], because it makes it much easier to work with such 
globals in an IDE, having type hinting and code completion. I did it 
because I saw other places in the Core using this way of doing this.

Now Kay Strobach thinks this should not be done for performance reasons. 
Do we have guidelines about this?

I'm perfectly willing to update my patch and remove that wrapper method, 
but I would first like to know if there's any consensus about this.

Cheers
