This seems a bit short-sighted, since I've

better to call it something like {{#filemetadata:...}} ? Then the media

I don't understand whether you're objecting to the function name,
which is trivial to change, or how the function actually operates...?
I think Tim has written PHP functions, but no wiki-based access to
them. I want to write access routines for the wiki. So,
{{#filemetadata}} sounds great.
Could someone quickly point me to where Tims handlers are
defined/used, so I won't have to wade through the entire code? ;-)
(If someone else wants to write the extension, please go ahead; that
way, it might actually get used on wikimedia sites!:-)
