[Greasemonkey] API brainstorming: GM services?

[Matt Labrum]

this is a idea im quite liking . persistant objects could be used to "cache"
data , ease constantly loading settings with GM_getValue on every page load
, one would only have to read it once if it detects that object dosnt exist.

+1 to this :P
