Description
in various internal and external plugins we find outselfes attaching objects to either items or config as pseudo-private elements sometimes even going as far as creating plugin instances only as means for storage
i'd like to open an api to provide storage to plugins that eases getting a own namespace and controlling for how long something will be stored
