[Vimperator] [RFC] Persistent options

As the .vimperatorrc is working now (thanks to viktor!), I have mixed
feelings about how to handling settings:

1.) like we do now, so a :set beep is persistent after a firefox
restart, and you have to do a :set nobeep explicitly in your
.vimperatorrc if you don't want beep to be default in future.

2.) Like in vim, :set beep only has an effect for now, you'll have to
add it to the .vimperratorrc for persistence.


I rather prefer 1.) but am open for discussion with this mailing list.
2.) had the advantage that we don't need about:config settings anymore,
but is this really an advantage?

And what about
:map 
and
:autocommand
and
:qmark[add] (quick bookmarks, 'v to go to www.vim.org)

Should those things also be persistent, or should there be a need to put
them in the .vimperatorrc?

As a last ressort I thought about a :set autosave option (default on) to
let the user decide, what he wants. But maybe this is an option to much,
and may cause inconsistencies.

Comments?
