This is a cool idea, and personally a plugin that works on Linux would
be great. Once something is there, maybe people will add patches to
support different OS's file attribute systems. (Or maybe there's a xattr
library ported to Windows, who knows). Thanks for bringing it up, I
didn't know about it before.
