Good point. Well, for my next trick I plan to add support for generic object
meta-data in the file system. If you need it right away I'd say go for it,
because I don't know when I'll get to it. I'd like it if you could let me know
what you come up with, though. That'll probably make things easier when I get
around to implementing a general solution, which will eliminate the maintenance
chore for you of keeping your branch synched up with mine.
