Yes, unfortunately, this doesn't solve the "shared args block" problem, 
it just provides a better way to create shared request-lifetime 
variables. You would have to do the above or

    $foo = $ARGS{foo}

in the appropriate subcomponent. Actually the latter may be better 
because it makes it clear which subcomponent is providing the value.
