Hi!

global variables are hard to debug and error prone. Let's make it explicit:

drupal_set($module, $key, $value = NULL, $force = FALSE) { static $storage; if ($value || $force) { $storage[$module][$key] = $value; } return $storage[$module][$key]; }

drupal_get($module, $key) { return drupal_set($module, $key); }

How about drupal_(set|get)_global(). And drupal_(set|get)_object() can be used to get statically cached objects (nodes, terms, users, vocabularies, etc) from the db. -Neil
