Yes, I'm sure, because the data being stored isn't KVP data, but
arbitrary gpointer data (which you can't store in a KVP anyways).  The
idea was to allow modules to have a hook to store data in the Book.
Think of this not as a KVP but as arbitrary equivalent storage to
	book->ttlist
	book->accountgroup
	book->sx_accgroup
	etc.

In particular, I have code that is storing a GHashTable using this
mechanism (which I plan to commit as soon as I get it working :) What
I might actually do is have it store a private structure which
contains a GHashTable (or multiple hash tables).
