GM_getObject/GM_setObject

I think these two additional functions might be handy:

function GM_getObject( name, default )
function GM_setObject( name, value )

Implementation:

function GM_getObject(name, defaultValue) {
	var s = GM_getValue(name);

	if (s === undefined) {
		return defaultValue;
	}
	else {
		return JSON.parse(s);
	}
}

function GM_setObject(name, value) {
	GM_setValue(name, JSON.stringify(value));
}
