That's right, because the process of searching for valid global 
variables is a bit time consuming.  In PmWiki 2 you can use the $FmtV
array to hold variable substitutions that frequently change, as in

   $FmtV['$myglobalvar'] = 'value';

Better is to just set $GCount to zero.  PmWiki will recompute $GCount when
it rebuilds the variable cache.
