They could also be in an external user preferences file, or even in a per-folder file, and be more like "recent images"... Another little usage scenario: For my part I've always wanted something like this with dodge/burn, because whenever I switch from dodge to burn on a grayscale engraving scan, I need to change the mode from highlights to shadows - the only combinations that really make much sense are dodge/highlights and burn/shadows, as otherwise you end up lightening the black stroke or leaving visible brush-strokes on the white background. I've never asked for it (Peter would say I was projecting my own really unusual workflow on other users :-) ) but the ability to save and switch between some combinations might be very useful. Years ago you used to see people with masking tape on the top of their keyboard, so they could write down the settings they'd bound to function keys... you still do in banks or a lot of offices. A nicer way to do this might be the ability to drag an icon from Tool Options onto the toolbox to make a "new tool" that's really a combination of default settings for an existing tool?
