Perhaps the most positive thing I can say about this feature is that I
can't stop you from doing this in a third-party extension. I'm
definitely opposed to giving users access to putting arbitrary things in
extra, or doing anything that's even suggestive of functionality like
svn props. We already have enough problems managing our internal extra
fields.
