Well, as it turns out, it probably *is* what I'm asking for.
I didn't realise that I can declare normal variables in a .pmod

In hindsight it might be obvious, but I have to admit that part of this
confusion is because the Pike documentation regarding what the
difference is between *.pike, *.pmod and module.pmod files and where
they are searched for is insufficiently easy to digest.

Maybe the documentation has improved since I first read about this, or
maybe I simply didn't find the right spots to read.
