It is. According to my benchmark I don’t think this is a problem
for most Emacs use cases (it loads 10k entry within 0.03s,
I’ve tested longer list).

I do have an idea how to do it without loading the entire store,
by dividing the store into several “buckets” based on hash value
of they keys (and each bucket can be dynamically splitted,
essentially forming a trie). But I don’t know if it’s worth it.

Maybe let’s put the package in use first and see if that’s
necessary? It can be added (mostly) without changing
the interface. The only change I can see is, we may want
kv-store-filename to become kv-store-directory so
those bucket files are stored under it. Or we can retain
the current interface and add suffix to kv-store-filename.
Which one is more preferable?
