Its a legacy naming scheme,  If greasemonkey where invented today, It
probably would use something like greasemonkey.store.setValue()  or
gm.setValue(),  like you have console.log() for firebug.

Javascript is not Java, anyway,  the customs are hilariously
fragmented. GM_getValue may look like a constructor to a Java
programer, but to me, that I have a C background, looks like a ugly
macro :-/
