May I make a feature request? Could it be added as ... is it called side data?

I haven't used side data yet so I'm not quite sure what it is and how it's used.

The frame # would need to be readable by follow-on logic inside expressions.

This is for processing videos that have previously been telecined, a frame dropped, and a frame repeated, in various sequences. The sequence of the video destruction is not important. What's important is the phase of the decimation within the modulo-5 in the video that remains. In 4 of the 5 cases (phases), it's actually possible to almost completely recover the original video (prior to the wrecking). 4 out of 5 cases involve the loss of just 1 field in 10. The 5th case involves the total loss of a whole frame and is not recoverable (but since that case would have an amazing amount of judder, it's unlikely to be found in the wild). However, I have found other cases of this video species in the wild.
