TO the developers of midgard 2.0.

How hard would it be to make the field selections more dynamic? One thing is
adding fields into the tables, f.x attachement table (as I have suggested
earlyer) another is creating a new table and having a complete set of
midgard functions. Both could be a quite interesting way of thinking
midgard. Lets say that the distro source comes with an con file of some sort
that defines all fields and soforth in the default tables, and then the
admin can add a new table and there will be a corosponding list of
mgd_dothis_"tablename" functions.

Is it an idea of is it a way of creating havoc?
