Summary:
Global custom-field api for modules
Detailed Description:
Hello,

a lot of modules have build in support for custom fields, I think there should
be some api, or something in core that would help with managing these custom
fields. At this moment I don't have exact idea of how to do it and what it
should do at all, but if you are interested in that and would like some help
with that, just let me know and I can build some concept about whole that
"custom fields api".

I know it would be a plenty of work to do it, but on the other hand it would
save a plenty of work when developing new modules.

Thanks

This is one of the big strenths, and the big weaknesses of other modules.   And,
quite honestly, it would not save any significant time to write new modules....
considering the different needs of each module (though it may seem like they are
similar, quite often the needs are significantly different).
