Thanks. When starting out, I could very well adopt such a method. On the
long run, however, I see these obstacles:
1. I would need to do this procedure per game type, whose numbers may very
well reach the hundreds, or more
2. the number of games per game type would at least reach thousands, so
fetching all keys is quite demanding
3. this data is for an often hit page

You definitely have a point here. That's why I'm trying to find out if (a)
others see the need for this feature and (b) if it can be *relatively*
simple to implement.
