+localStorage
+===
+
+An inefficient, but as W3C-compliant as possible using only pure JavaScript, `localStorage` implementation.
+
+Purpose
+----
+
+This is meant for the purpose of being able to run unit-tests and such for browser-y modules in node.
+
+Usage
+----
+
+    var localStorage = require('localStorage')
+      , myValue = { foo: 'bar', baz: 'quux' }
+      ;
+
+    localStorage.setItem('myKey', JSON.stringify(myValue));
+    myValue = localStorage.getItem('myKey');
+
+API
+---
+
+  * getItem(key)
+  * setItem(key, value)
+  * removeItem(key)
+  * clear()
+  * key(n)
+  * length
+
+Tests
+---
+
+    0 === localStorage.length;
+    null === localStorage.getItem('doesn't exist');
+    undefined === localStorage['doesn't exist'];
+
+    localStorage.setItem('myItem');
+    "undefined" === localStorage.getItem('myItem');
+    1 === localStorage.length;
+
+    localStorage.setItem('myItem', 0);
+    "0" === localStorage.getItem('myItem');
+
+    localStorage.removeItem('myItem', 0);
+    0 === localStorage.length;
+
+    localStorage.clear();
+    0 === localStorage.length;
+
+TODO / Bugs
+---
+
+  * Does not persist.
+    * could use `fs.readFileSync` at load and an occasional `fs.writeFile` to write-out localStorage.json
+  * Doesn't not emit `Storage` events
