What I think brian is saying, and I agree, is that he does not want

and, um I don't know. Haw many tools will there ever be that want
to send mail back to the author and what will their names be ?
So as well as having per-tool settings in META.yml there should be
some global settings that all tools agree to use as a default.
At that point, is it an extension anymore or a de-facto standard?
Anyhow, the two desires don't seem mutually exclusive.
extensions:
authors:
MSCHWERN:
pants: 0
SKUD:
pants: "Skirt"
distributions:
Acme-Ninja:
hi: "keeba!"
global:
cc_author: 0
This allows per distribution, per author and defacto standard global
extensions without polluting the main space with yucky "X-Foo" keys.
