"Persist" as a transitive verb? <gack!>

["Roy Jacobsen" <roy -dot- jacobsen -at- greatplains -dot- com>]

Has anyone run into cases of "persist" being used as a transitive verb?
The context is a white paper, written by a software engineer, for a
technical audience. The phrase is referring to information that "must be
persisted." <Ack! Ptoie!>

I have no intention of letting this stand unchallenged, but I'd like to
hear if anyone has some alternatives to offer.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are
doing it.
