This gets into the area of user-defined attributes for objects
(hosts, services, etc). I was hoping to get these into the 2.x code,
but I don't think they'll make it. I would like to allow people to
add custom attributes to any object type they'd like, have them
replicate using templates and make them available in macros, but I
have to think about the best way to make this happen before I start
coding. Given the large number of things that have changed in the
2.x code, I'll probably hold off until 3.0 before adding this.
Implementing this is in the works, but it is a while out.
