Actually, gimp-perl does that (or at least did that) since the 1.x days,
by either using gimp_set_data (obsolete) or global persistent parasites,
which has the desired effect.
Gimp::Fu uses that mechanism, so all perl plug-ins using Gimp::Fu als
their UI have persistency for their settings. That has worked without
problems so far.
(Actually both global and per-image defaults, so when opening the same
plug-in on an image it will use the values used before, if possible, or
the global last-recently-used ones).
