I like the proposal! Good work. Of course, I do have a question ;)

I see from your examples that it is possible to store arrays of data and
assign that array to one key, so that could be enough for storing big
chunks of data.

I assume you have thought of some types of data that are cumbersome to
store with this module and consider those as 'big chunks of data'. So my
question then would be: do you plan to have something for big chunks of
data in the future then?

Great!
This will make the Blender.ReleaseGlobalDict() function obsolete then?
Would it be wise to add a warning message to the function when it is
called? Just like I added one to the Object.getSelected() functions.
