Putting extra information into a data structure 'owned' by another
component can cause namespace collisions. Better to have a specific
expansion hook like { private => { your => 'data', goes => 'here' } }, IMHO.

I think this particular example does cross a fundamental separation. I
agree with Zbyszek: labels are part of the view/presentation, not the
model. What if you also want your data to be used by Chinese users?
