Comment (by dingo_d):

 I didn't want to open a new ticket, but I think this has some impact on
 the future-proofing WP.

 As per RFC https://wiki.php.net/rfc/restrict_globals_usage the `$GLOBALS`
 usage will be restricted in PHP 8.1 (the RFC was accepted unanimously).

 Scouring the wp core, there is quite a bit of usage of the `$GLOBALS`
 variable both in core and tests (https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/search?q=%24GLOBALS).

 I'm wondering if this will have any negative impact on the WP core?
