Comment (by johnbillion):

 In your patch, calling each of the `wp_input_*()` functions once (from
 `wp_input_init()`) just to populate their static variables seems
 pointless. Why not populate the static variable the first time each
 function is called?

 There should be a way to access a deep value of a multidimensional array.
 I've seen CMSes and frameworks that allow a pseudo array key notation in
 the form of

 {{{
 wp_input_post( 'foo[bar][baz]' )
 }}}

 and others that allow for an arbitrary number of arguments in the form of

 {{{
 wp_input_post( 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' );
 }}}

 in order to access `$_POST['foo']['bar']['baz']`.
