Yes, that's what I thought too. And an equivalent could be added to 
extbase too, as Ernesto suggested.

maybe rather
getFromRegistry($key) and storeInRegistry($key, $value)
or
getRegistryValue($key) and setRegistryValue($key, $value)

to avoid confusion..

Yes, you're right - that would be an option too.
Only disadvantage I can see ATM:
t3lib_Registry could not be a singleton anymore. If you'd want to use 
the registry in several places with the same namespace (e.g. "core") you 
would need to load the same keys multiple times..
