After second thought, I think it’s quite hard to reconcile them in a descriptive
way. Does that mean I should split the file into a kv.el and persistent.el?

Is it acceptable that there’re some slight deviation from the
prefix tradition, like make-persistent-variable and kill-persistent-variable?

If to put the package on ELPA, should we also split into two packages?
I think it’s logically one suite of persistence facility though, in that
case, is it good to have two file named kv.el and persistent.el
in a package called Persistence (or to avoid confusion with Persist,
screw it and still call it Resist!)?


Best,
