+>>>>> Hi — I've written a new patch which I hope addresses the concerns raised
+>>>>> with the previous ones. The new approach is to hard-code in `scan()`
+>>>>> which of the meta types are supported in the setup file.  If one is
+>>>>> defined, then `scan()` calls `preprocess()`, as [[smcv]] suggested,
+>>>>> rather than stuffing redundant data into ikiwiki's data structures.
+>>>>> 
+>>>>> Two types supported in the setup file have optional arguments: `author`
+>>>>> and `title`.  These are supported by having special-cased setup keys
+>>>>> `meta_author_sortas` and `meta_title_sortas`.  Future expansion of the
+>>>>> number of supported types, or addition of arguments to existing ones,
+>>>>> can similarly be special-cased.
+>>>>> 
+>>>>> The setup data structure is no longer complicated with an
+>>>>> array-of-hashes, which means this is suitable for exposing via websetup.
+>>>>> A future iteration of the patch will implement this. — [[Jon]]
