Providing additional information with PageConfig Object

[Ajay Panagariya <ap...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using Pluto's PageConfig Object infrastructure to organize the
navigation on my page. One thing I would like to do is be able to categorize
my navigation with subcategories like:

Category 1
   Page 1
   Page 2
   Page 3
Category 2
   Page 4
   Page 5
  ....

I've got some hack-ish solutions to this, but I think the cleanest way would
be to add a private member that is a generic Object to the PageConfig
Object. The purpose of this would be to just allow the user pack any
additional information they want to  into the PageConfig (subcategories,
icons, etc). Opinions? Suggestions? Maybe a generic Object is too rough
around the edges?

I think this is a great idea.  I agree that we probably don't need to handle
specifics, but just having an extra generic object that would allow anyone
to store any additional information that they want.

any one else?  should i pursue putting a patch together?
