Because AOLserver is multithreaded and you can't be
guaranteed to have sequential requests get handled by
the same thread, you cannot do this with plain Tcl.
Using the AOLserver API, you've got lots of choices.
Using ns_share, nsv_* API, or even ns_cache.
Which way is "best" depends on your use and other
requirements other than "being able to access the
same data from multiple request threads."
