Umm.. I hate them only because it is hard to steal and reuse function
calls without digging around in the guts of an application.  And half
the time it is faster to rewrite the function then it is to fix the
shoe horn.=)

Besides, I believe we have done a good job trimming down and minimizing
globals. Just some stuff is more pratical in a global space than it is
in a smaller scope.
