That's great - I look forward to it.  You might want to have a
discussion with me about this, as I've looked into it briefly before,
and if I remember correctly there are a number of edge cases to watch
out for.

It's better practice to use the UserData() or ClassData() methods to
store data with a window - that's the documented interface - and will
remain supported.  Poking directly into the representation of an
Object is unhealthy.
