Superglobals about uniter

[IngwiePhoenix]

I just realized my test didnt mention cookies - but, you get what i meant. :)

@IngwiePhoenix I've just published PHPCore v3.13.0 with support for super globals 😄
They can be set with the method <Engine>.setSuperGlobal('<name>', '<native JS value>');.
I have a patch to add support for 'accessor' superglobals in dev at the moment, which would be needed for your should automatically match $argc to $argv scenario, but it's not quite ready yet.

Note that the name is without the leading dollar-sign character.

Here's an example from the tests: https://github.com/uniter/phpcore/blob/master/test/integration/superGlobalTest.js#L34

Nice! Looks good to me. :)

@IngwiePhoenix I've just published PHPCore v3.14.0, now with support for accessor superglobals with getters and setters using <engine>.setSuperGlobalAccessor('<name>', <getter>, <setter>);. Here's an example from the tests: https://github.com/uniter/phpcore/blob/master/test/integration/superGlobalTest.js#L68

Based on this, I'm considering deprecating the current <Engine>.expose(...) API and adding a new set of methods for each operation instead: <Engine>.setVariable(...), <Engine>.getVariable(...), <Engine>.defineClass(...), <Engine>.defineFunction(...) etc.

(Non-superglobal) variables could then have accessors too, eg.: <Engine>.setVariableAccessor(...)

[IngwiePhoenix]

You could keep .expose() for BC untill the next major bump and have it decide an action according to to the type of input. Just an idea :)

Yep, that's the plan, sorry, that's what I meant by 'deprecate' rather than remove. 😄
I think .expose(...) definitely should be removed eventually though, to make it more obvious what's going on.

Hi @IngwiePhoenix,

Now that superglobals have been added as a feature, and ArrayAccess support has been added, is there anything else you need to resolve this issue?

[IngwiePhoenix]

I doubt there is anything left from here on out. :)

As such, Ill also close the issue.

Thanks a lot for the implementations!
