Not an issue per-say, but feature improvement hack I made

[jonbarkerlondon]

...To allow for additional metadata on each item.

I just declared vals = Vector{Tuple{Symbol,Integer,Any}}() - note the Any rather than String.
And added a new method

        function $(esc(:getattributes))(x::$(esc(typename)))
           for (sym, i, str) in $vals
                if i == $(basetype)(x)
                    return str
                end
            end
            return nothing
        end

Great package by the way! Been looking for this for a while but didn't know how to do it.
