## New (2)

- Ambiguous Naming/Overlap: `globalVariables`, `superGlobalVariables`, and `superGlobalArrays` are semantically overlapping or unclear. In PHP, `$_GET`, `$_POST`, etc., are superglobals. It is unclear if `superGlobalVariables` returns the same data as `superGlobalArrays` or if `globalVariables` includes non-super globals. The distinction between 'Variables', 'Global Variables', and 'Super Global Arrays' is not immediately obvious from the names alone, suggesting potential duplication of intent or unclear domain boundaries.
- Redundant Data Access: The `Snapshot` class already exposes the raw data (as arrays) for constants, global variables, and ini settings. The `CodeExporter` class duplicates this intent by providing methods that take a `Snapshot` and return strings (likely serialized code). This creates two different ways to access the same underlying state: one for inspection (Snapshot) and one for export/code generation (CodeExporter), but the naming convention in CodeExporter mirrors Snapshot's getters too closely, causing confusion about whether one should use Snapshot for data or CodeExporter for code.
