To maybe short-circuit this direction --

User-Defined Object Directives:
Object definitions will be extended to allow for user-defined
variables/directives to be entered. This custom variables will be
inheritable, just like the standard variables now. Custom variables will
likely look something like this...
define host{
host_name host1
...
_customvar1 "This is a custom variable of some kind"
_location "Host is physically located in Room
301..."
_snmp_community_string public
}
