FUSE needs a way to set "hints" for file-management

[nf2]

Hi all,

I think it would be quite useful to be able to attach key/value "hints" 
for desktop file-management to FUSE-mounts. Such "hints" are required by 
file-managers to decide on creating ".Trash" or rendering preview. 
Sometimes you want a FUSE-mount to be treated like a local drive, and in 
many cases you don't:

use_trash=true|false
is_slow=true|false

There has been some discussion on this issue here:

I wonder where/how such meta-information could be stored/retrieved...

* mtab
* config-files in $HOME/.config
* /proc
* getxattr

regards,
Norbert
