Small nit - it ideally will have no globals and if there are any you
shouldn't have to use them. I'm not sure if we can completely eliminate
them.
It will be a while before it actually gets to that state anyway though, so
early 4.3 versions are bound to have a lot of globals still. Heck, they
won't even have a completely rewritten API.

I wouldn't mind but for the fact that we can continue to add small things
that can't break anything ad infinitum. We need to draw the line somewhere
and move on, and I think this falls on the wrong side of that line.
Unfortunately.
