There is no problem with using $_GET['q'].  I'm not tempted to commit
this patch.

Although not essential, it would be good if arg() can return all request
aruments. It is a minor enhancement, but IMO encourages consistency.

Sorry, moved the version to cvs, it is applicable, but not really
relevan for 4.6

As far as I know, this would be equivalent to just using $_GET['q'],
which we use elsewhere. It is certainly nicer in code, but you should
also update the places where this is used then.

That's true. This is mainly a utility/readability concern.


I can do that, but it is a bit of an effort, and since it won't break
any existing functionality, I haven't even though of doing it. I thoght
small patches are better :) There are 64 uses of $_GET currently in
core, and each of them should be considered with care.


There is a long term possibility, which might be worth exploring -
capturing info not only from GET, but POST, PUT, ... requests.
