This is used for all the PvP-ranks titles that are displayed above characters (and some other stuff). So if you i.e. replace this with a function, that always returns "stupid", all players with PvP-ranks will run around with a name tag like "stupid xyz". This is used rarely and I am not sure what kind of ID-keys you can used.

* This function ''appears'' to do the same thing as [[API getglobal|getglobal]] except that it only returns string values.
** Examples
:<pre> local var1 = getglobal("ChatFrame1") -- var1 is a reference to <frame> ChatFrame1.</pre>
:<pre> local var2 = GetText("ChatFrame1") -- var2 is an empty string (<string> "").</pre>
:<pre> local var3 = getglobal("YES") -- var3 is <string> "Yes" (on enUS clients).</pre>
:<pre> local var4 = GetText("YES") -- var4 is <string> "Yes" (on enUS clients).</pre>
