+description= Internal metadata that must be ignored by other plugins.
+	It is useful for reconstruction of information about keys between
+	kdbGet and kdbSet.
+	Always avoid to use it if there is any other metadata that
+	can be used instead.
+	For example, if a type can be represented with the CORBA
+	type system, metadata `type` should be used.
+	Only if a type cannot be represented, e.g., the `toml`
+	plugin would use `internal/toml/type`.
