Re: file metadata

That's a really good question.

You didn't mention your underlying OS or filesystem, although i guess we'd
want emacs to work with whatever metadata system is present.

Do you already have some extra metadata assigned (say with an attribute
called 'description') through (e.g.) ext4?
