Re: Added *lightweight* user meta data

Hi Anthony,

right now, I tend to use column name as a conventional link between my
UI layer (labels, html tag id or name, ...) and my records (or
eventually qualified column name, but in fact I have schema-wide unique
column names). So I didn't have the need for this.

That said, it could be useful to carry other display information for
example... I had to extend some SFielMetas just to trigger a special
display based on type (password, big deciaml as percentage, ...)...

So yes, will be useful to carry on display information that is
independant of data itself.

The "DISPLAY_LABEL" example is nice because anybody will understand it,
be it will also brings localization questions and so on.
What about these other examples :

new SFieldBigDecimal(meta, columnName, precission, scale,
pvals).putUserPorperty("DISPLAY_MODE", "Percent");

or new SFieldString(meta, columnName,
20).putUserPorperty("DISPLAY_MODE", "Password");

In fact I like it :)

Thanks,
Franck
