Zyx -- That's an interesting approach. My main plan has been to go
through and refactor at some point (probably coming soon now) to make
sure all the globals have a prefix of 'org_' or something else that
would diffferentiate them from other plugins.

The dictionary approach sounds interesting but I wonder about the
performance implications. I know Dicts are indexed, but won't there
still be noticeable slowdown if that approach is used in loop
repeated, say, 1,000 times? 10,000 times? Or is dict approach better
limited to cases where variable is referenced in situation where
performance isn't an issue?
