Hi Joseph,

Thanks :)

That's actually the first thing I tried but it meant a lot more changes all over the place. I tried the metadata approach in parallel and it was more elegant... Plus I want metadata too :)

BTW, I merged it with your new changes but not sure the regular functionality is now working, more testing to do before I push.

Wout.
