As I understand it, you can have redirect and info messages but you can't
relate a particular info message to a particular redirect. I'd like to
have metadata in a redirect. That way I can combine the two kinds of
indices: insertion and summary. An insertion index has one key per
file. I'd like to change this to one redirect with metadata per file. This
is what users insert. Then daemons troll these indexes and create summary
index files listing a bunch of keys. I'd like to change this to a single
file with a bunch of redirects with metadata.

That way we have a nice a totally standard format for files which just
happens to act as both types of key index whenever you give the keys names
in a particular pattern.

The reason this is currently not viable is because Redirect and Info
messages are separate. So I can have a collection of redirect and info
message, but no way to relate which info message goes to which redirect
message. If you could put metadata in the redirect then there would be no
problem.
