I know what you mean Mathieu, this was just a proposal. This "metadata" issues has been brought up several times since I read the list. It has serious impact with pd's own structure and obviously it has to be a conceptual issue discussed and approved by Miller and all developers I guess.

I did not get exactly what this feature was about, I read the comments and overall description, but something slipped, could you enlighten?

Best regards,

A feature like this was coded for pd back in 2003 :

And you can bet that it's never going to be added.
