 adding a new table from a plugin isn't difficult at all. Plus you get to
 add whatever columns you need. The same goes for all the other meta tables
 suggested.

 The other meta tables suggested already exist. usermeta, postmeta, these
 have been around a while.

 There was talk about a generic object meta table, unifying these, but that
 hasn't been done for a lot of reasons, with speed being a big one.
