IIRC, ages ago when I used ASP pages there as an "Application" object
which was basically identical to this concept.  I seem to recall using
it for configuration kinds of thing (db connections, etc).

I have resorted to caching for similar needs in PHP, I think
$_GLOBAL_SESSION would be welcome addition, perhaps even allowing for
customs session handlers similar to the $_SESSION now for
multi-processor environments and other unique setup problems.
