[TYPO3-core] Wrapper methods around globals?

[Alexander Stehlik]

This is indeed a very good point! The usage of a local variable reduces 
the performance impact of the getter methods. Didn't think about this 
before.

Another advantage of using these getter methods is that you could use 
them in unit test for providing mocked objects and you do not have to 
initialize the global variables.

Cheers,
Alex
