It's name (safeget) implies (to me) that it will return something
safe.... and probably doesn't need to have escape_string applied on it.
I know this isn't the case.

Would it be more useful to do something like Zend_Filter - namely
ensuring that a field matches a given type as well.

function safeget($name, $type, $default =3D null)
or something; so you could ensure you had e.g. an int back?

Guess I'll have to read the code sometime then :)

(Sorry I've not done much lately, I'll pull my finger out one day soon)

Thanks
