In reference to a recent post on LassoTalk about securing
variables, I ran into an issue of trying to secure the variables
for Knop:

http://www.listsearch.com/Lasso/Thread/index.lasso?22934#251686

// this is not secure
var('d'=knop_database(-database='db', -table='user',
-username='u', -password='p', -keyfield='keyfield', -lockfield='lockfield'));

// Putting the connection settings into a global array in an
atbegin in LassoStartup for the site causes an error:

global('cnxn' = array(
-database = 'db',
-table = 't',
-username = 'u',
-password = 'p',
-maxrecords = 'all',
-nothing
)
);

var('d'=knop_database($cnxn, -table='user',
-keyfield='keyfield', -lockfield='lockfield'));

=> The specified database was not found.

// By traversing the array, I made a workaround, but it is not sexy:
var('d'=knop_database(-database=$cnxn->get(1)->second,
-table='user', -username=$cnxn->get(3)->second,
-password=$cnxn->get(4)->second, -keyfield='keyfield', -lockfield='lockfield'));

Is there a more elegant way to pass the database connection
parameters as an array instead of individual strings?
