Can we please not suggest "not recommended" solutions (that most of us probably wouldn't use) without at least providing a recommended alternative?

I wholeheartedly agree. I mentioned that it is not recommended, and gave a link where that point was stressed much better than I could hope to do.

A global variable turns out be the most accessible and easy solution, and it provides a good playground to experiment with trying to replace them with something else.
