I noticed a discussion [1] about adding metadata to domains definition 
and methods of accessing it.

As these patches can also be considered to deal with metadata and we 
probably shouldn't add a ton of API's for accessing them we could as 
well as add an API to support various formats of metadata.

What are your opinions on this? Should we add such a general function 
(virDomain[Get|Set]Metadata)? Is it a good idea to use the virTypedParam 
to do this? Is the string support on virTypedParam complete?


Thanks

Peter

P.S.: I'm self-NACKing this patchset until this is settled.
