Come to think of it, package registries are sort of “superglobal” in many languages. It’s not entirely far-fetched to imagine a language in which variables themselves can be super-global. Heck, MUMPS global variables are immediately persisted to disk and visible to all other processes - and that’s a real language used in real systems!
