Have you thought about what kind of parameters we could add that would
make it possible to build that kind of extension on top of Storm,
without necessarily introducing the knowledge of all extensions into
Storm itself?

In other words, can we add some special "decorator" syntax for the
columns, that will aid that kind of scenario without requiring all the
knowledge of which attributes are there to live inside Storm itself?

I'm certainly keen on offering the extensibility aspect in Storm, so
that we can help that kind of use case.
