Suppose it sounds pretty good, but I'd prefer to have a separate 
functionality for configuration instead.

Something like llGetSettingFloat("Update interval", 5.0);

Notecards are very annoying to parse to get configuration info, and are 
slow too. IMO a specific mechanism would be much preferrable.

Now, not 100% sure how exactly to do it, maybe just store a key/string 
value pair, and let the coder deal with that. Not ideal, but would be a 
huge improvement already. 

Perhaps make it store lists directly, that has the advantage of being able 
to store anything losslessly and not needing a function per datatype.
