It's not a whole lot more effort to support this. I fully plan to
implement it.

A lot of the "hard" code will be done by a wrapper script, with info
files that define relationships. This is why not much code has been
in. I've been hacking on this (when I've had time).

What kind of app?

It will include personal info. We'll have a few types of supported
IDs, with wrapper functions, but really any info could be set. It just
won't be saved yet, as we'd need a backend that supported extra
metadata. That'll happen a little later. Not too much later, though.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean here?
