Looking at the I/O modules for liblicense, they only expose readers and 
writers for one piece of metadata: the license the file is under. 
Admittedly, most formats only (and hardly, you could say) support that; 
but I want to add support for embedding more metadata, right now the Web 
Statement URL, to make verifying CC licenses easier.

Jason, since you architected the I/O modules, I'd love to hear your 
thoughts in particular.

I'm leaning toward extending the _write() and _read() functions to take 
three arguments:

const char * filename, const char * predicate, const char * value

("value" would only be an argument to write.)

That way, we can flexibly add support for more metadata attributes in 
liblicense as we need them.

What are y'all's thoughts?
