Yes, but my point is that this structure must be built-in from the
get-go, yet such a pattern hasn't received any attention in
documentation (even in the past). I just wanted to point out a critical
stumbling block for anyone coming from "ephemeral" web application
development where application state is persisted manually, to a
transparently persistent, distributed system like web-keys. Most
developers coming to webkeys fall into this category, so it's important.

I'd love to hear about it.
