Add a new function to add to request methods (POST, GET etc)

Hi,
I'm not sure if the functionality for this already exists as I haven't been able to find any documentation for this in the CI docs. Basically we should be able to add to a GET or POST request vars manually using a method like

PHP Code:

$this->request->setPost('key' => 'value'); 


Currently if you need to add something to a request inside a controller, then you set it like so

PHP Code:

$_POST['key'] = 'value'; 


And then if you try to use

PHP Code:

$this-request->getPost(); 


the newly added key - value pair doesn't appear in that method.

It's not super clear in the doc, but what you're looking for is setGlobal:

PHP Code:

$this->request->setGlobal('post', [
    'foo' => 'bar',
    'bar' => 'baz',
]);

]); 


Yes I saw that, but that overwrites the values of all other $_POST variables.

Why do you need such a functionality?
