  I fully agree that you should not have any code where you would need
  to retrieve the request, with something like global_request. The
  reason is simple, is that *if* the request is need in your code, it
  should be added as a parameter. Otherwise it's using global variables
  for me.

  It sounds a bit like you want to write generic code, in a library, and
  that at the end, you end up not.

  But anyway, it's possible if you want, and you do not need to
  write some dirty code yourself to do it.

  I am all +1 to have a method:

     grok.url(object, request, **other_options)

  Best regards,

  Sylvain,
