I'm sure, but my point was that the discussed miniconf already contains mostly the same code already, so I suggested that it would be a worthwhile addition to it, in its stdlib-hole-filler role. If it goes in that direction, I'd suggest to rename the module to give it a name closer to existing persistence-related modules already in the stdlib.
