I'd like to write $whatever in node.tpl.php instead of $node->whatever .
Hence the patch.

i am gonna +1 this, as it simplifies the available variables.

I Add my +1 to the 'heap' too. But a slight additional feature:
Maybe we should then omit teh $node completely. It makes not much sense
IMO to use the overheard of parsing along a rather often-used, and big
varible, when its availabe in another form already
Maybe you should do some checking for already existing variables. One
nevver really knows w

+1 to the flat, -1 to removing $node. I use various functions within my
templates that require a $node object to be passed to them.

Dries is also right that some code can be removed.

Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/_p_24862_pictures.patch (2.61 KB)

This patch causes a small bug with $picture. There exists a
$node->picture (the relative URL to the submitter's picture) and a
variables['picture'] (whether or not to show avatars within a
template). chx kindly ensures that the $variables array always
overrides anything in $node with $variables =
array_merge(object2array($node), $variables);. But, this doesn't work
if the template avatars have been set to OFF/Disabled/NULL in the
template settings. Since it's set to off, the $node->picture gets
seeded and the templates, checking on the existence of $picture, now
spit out the relative URL to the picture. The attached patch turns
renames $variable['picture'] to $variable['show_picture'].


This /shoudn't/ be an issue with comment pictures, because $comment is
not flattened.
