Cache is not really applicable here. Access restrictions - yes but you
can solve it with user permissions for tables in current typo3 versions.

Yes, I see and understand :) I share your view. I am just trying to tell
that it will be hard to change. It is easy to obtain storage PID, it is
just a single call to the core. But if you need to obtain another field,
you have to trace the whole root line until you find the value and
possibly deal with multiple mount points (I do not remember if core does
it by default). Since this is quite tricky, this logic should be in the
core. I see it as returning _STORAGE_PID as before from that core
function (do not remember its name) and something like _STORAGE_PIDS for
the full list. But then each extension must be aware of it.
