If you look at persist.el (always a good idea when a package by the
same name shows up), you'll see it has very similar aims.
`org-persist.el` as well.

So it looks like a good opportunity to see if/how you can improve your
package such that it can be either build on top of those packages, or
completely replace some of those packages, or replace some part of
those packages.

I hate those deviations, to be honest.  And they're incompatible with
the new symbol shorthand feature.
