Wish Referencing Globals/Process_Globals Easily

It would be nice to be able to reference variables from Globals/Process_Globals easily. One way to do it would be similar to how custom types are referenced.

Here is what I imagine.
Proposed Code:
Sub Process_Globals
    Dim SomeVariable as String
End Sub

Sub Globals
    Dim SomeImageView as ImageView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime as Boolean)
    Vars.Globals.SomeImageView.Initialize("")
    Vars.Process_Globals.SomeString = "Test"
End Sub

Maybe it would be better to not split up Globals and Process_Globals for cross platform compatibility between B4A and B4i.

There are important differences between Globals and Process_Globals. Best thing to do with both of them is to never use them and switch to B4XPages. Simpler and cross platform.

I use both. It is not practical to port my largest project from the cross platform system I developed that simulates the activity lifecycle on b4i.
