We can live with it, because $TCA is only a configuration and no class itself.
You would never copy it into a class. You use the information by referencing or
globalizing the original.

(Well, strictly taken globalizing or referencing makes it part of the object.
It's not the same like a pointer in C. Does this alter in PHP5?)

Java Struts does this controller configuration with XML files. Doing it with TS
would still accelerate development.
