"""
A pox on "globals are evil".

All-purpose bucket for storing global variables. Different environments
(e.g. webapp, test suite) put the appropriate value in it.
The most important values to be stored are app_conf (either from
lakesuperior.config_parser.config or lakesuperior.config_parser.test_config)
and app_globals (obtained by an instance of lakesuperior.globals.AppGlobals).

e.g.::

    >>> from lakesuperior.config_parser import config
    >>> from lakesuperior.globals import AppGlobals
    >>> from lakesuperior import env
    >>> env.app_globals = AppGlobals(config)

This is automated in non-test environments by importing
`lakesuperior.env_setup`.

timestamps.
