Yeah, I can put that on a TODO.  The persistence is useful for messages 
that aren't scoped for the runmode of the subsequent request.

I forgot about that - d'oh!  Actually, I had that in the original 
design, but the more I played around with it, the more I didn't like the 
idea.  I'm thinking I should update the docs accordingly and put a TODO 
on my list to allow the developer to configure if messages are cleared 
or not.

Oh, but that's the neat part. :)

No, I haven't.  According to the cgiapp Changes file, it shouldn't 
really matter.  The only parameters I use in the load_tmpl callback are 
the cgiapp instance (see if TT's involved and get the current runmode 
and session) and the tmpl parameters (to splice in the messages).

I will be uploading 0.12 shortly (with doc changes).
