Ferret talk - Dec 2007 - Payload support in ferret

Hello All:
   This is potentially a ferret and ruby newbie question. I RTFM-ed (the
oreilly shortcut anyway) and didnt find anything obvious.

Are there plans for Ferret to support the notion of "payloads"
introduced in
Lucene 2.2. Payloads are basically arbitrary metadata that can be stored for
each term. For example, for each term I can store, say, font information for
the term. ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-755 ).

Does ferret already support something like this? Are there plans in the
pipeline?

Thanks so much!

Anand
