Yeah, I've seen it both ways and I do use typeof identity checks in my
workflow. I do like the short storage shortcut/alias personally, but
I think I'll change it to your suggestion.

But I'm only calling loadData from within the if (storage) condition.
If storage isn't supported the function won't be called. I think I'll
move the loadData and saveData functions inside the conditional,
though.
Thanks much for your feedback!
