[AGENT++] Proposal: Explicit save of persistent objects via SNMP

But this is supported already. The MibEntry class has a is_volatile() method
which returns FALSE by default. So MIB objects usually get saved, if you set
a persistency name for the MibGroup to which they belong. You can reimplemnt
is_volatile() for Classes derived from MibEntry to prevent them ever being
saved to disk or only on certain conditions.
