My assumption is that you have templates which do a PROCESS (or INCLUDE,
but don't do that) to call the toolbar template.  In that case, the full
contents of the stash are passed along to the toolbar template.

That's the one I'm talking about.  I was assuming you have only one
$tt->process() call per request.

I structure my web applications so that common code can be added to all
requests in a central place (some kind of common "setup" hook).  I
usually put my $tt->process inside of some wrapper function as well,
since I want it to be a singleton.  That's probably where I would handle
this.

If you haven't structured things in a way that lets you share code
easily between requests, I could see why the plugin approach would look
more attractive.
