Coleen suggested the name OopStorages, as the plural of OopStorage.
(Unpublished versions of the change had a different name that I didn't
really like and Coleen actively disliked.)  Coleen and I both have an
antipathy toward "Manager" suffixed names, and I don't see how it's
any clearer in this case.  "Set" suggests a wider API.

Also, drive-by name bikeshedding doesn't carry much weight.
