That would be quite nice!

Along the same lines, is there any reason why it would not be possible
to add custom fields to a system table? Perhaps there is, I don't know
the internals too well, just wondering... If it isn't technically
absurd, it might be an interesting proposition, as tool vendors would
then be able to easily attach bits of information directly to the
meta-data without having to create a separate table duplicating a lot of
data.
