So I'm now starting to type in the stuff to make persistent values, and
the name `persistent-value' is of course already taken (by something in
ieieo that I can't even find, as usual).

So here's some synonyms.  Er...  opinions?

  (setf (sticky-value foo) 'bar) 

has a certain ring to it, but...  is it one of the good rings?

    constant
    continual
    endless
    enduring
    incessant
    insistent
    perpetual
    relentless
    repeated
    resolute
    steadfast
    steady
    stubborn
    tenacious
    unrelenting
    unremitting
    assiduous
    bound
    bound and determined
    bulldogged
    dogged
    firm
    fixed
    immovable
    in for long haul
    indefatigable
    interminable
    like bad penny
    never-ending
    obdurate
    obstinate
    perseverant
    persevering
    persisting
    pertinacious
    sticky
    tireless
    unflagging
    unshakable
