Hi,

The default interfaces for OCD/AD provide just enough information to
build a generic configuration editor for Metatype'd configurations.

However, on can think of use cases in which the editor needs
additional 'hints' in order to provide a better user experience. For
example, one could think of an attribute that provides the user a list
of predefined options, *or* allows him/her to type another option (not
in the list).

While it is certainly not an option to extend the MetaType spec with
all kinds of fancy options for UI-builders, might it not be an idea to
add a kind of "free-format" field to the OCD/AD for these kinds of
situations?
