My gut feeling is that as an application developer I could make some use of it but as a plugin developer I would much prefer to use function/method calls and I would much prefer to expose only function calls and not guarantee the nature of any global variables.

One reason is order of execution. What happens if the global is not (and cannot be) set until a given keyword is called the first time?

Thanks for the feedback Daniel. All makes a lot of sense when you put it like that. I think I've got another way of doing what I was trying to achieve, so I'll try and finish that and then I'll post some details shortly. Thanks, Andy
