One caution here. It's probably best to try to avoid possible future namespace
conflicts in current by using an app-specific dict/Storage in current for your
private variables. Something like:
current.myappname = Storage()
current.myappname.db = db
We discussed a while back formalizing this, perhaps with a current.apps
dict/Storage predefined (you'd use current.apps.myappname in that case), but
nobody seemed to have the energy for it.
