It would be useful to be able to check and set [extneded attributes/xattrs](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/xattr.7.html) to address bug 1566523 (which is Mac specific). Beyond that bug such functionality seems like it may have a wider general use. I believe this functionality would be specific to the Unix part of the lib, as I'm not sure Windows has a suitable analog.
