Re: [whatwg/storage] Box hooks (#18)

On IRC Jake suggested that we could just have "bucket has an associated X" where X could be service worker registrations and such. This assumes that when clearing a bucket is replaced with a new one (allowing X effectively to be GC'd as there are no more references to it). Is that the model we want? Currently we just say a bucket is cleared.

One problem is that we'd have to copy some state over from the old bucket, such as persistence and potentially more in the future once we start expanding the concept. At least, I think if you clear, you don't necessarily expect to have to invoke `persist()` again.

Thoughts?

An alternative is that a bucket has something like a specification-level GetStorageHandler(Identifier, optional ClearCallback) operation that returns a StorageHandler in which you can store stuff.
