Hi Julien,

Normally the entry will be removed if someone deinstalls
your add-on. If 
you use the configuration API it would be persistent and
independent 
from the life-cylce of your add-on. The performance impact
on the 
startup speed is minimal (<1ms), therefore I don't think
that you need a 
special solution.

It's not possible.

A dispatch interceptor can only intercept available
commands, therefore 
I don't see it as an alternative.
