Do you have write access so you can add it yourself?
If not, let me know.

I just looked at the code and I think it should be cleaner w.r.t its use
of namespace: the file is `resist!.el` and it defines macros and
functions using the `kv-` prefix as well as the `persistent-` prefix; we
should unify those 3 names.

[ Also the advice functions should have a name that starts with the
  package's namespace prefix.  ]

Why not start them lazily when the data is changed (e.g. within
`kv--ensure-transaction`)?
