For a long time, Abiathar has allowed extensions to save additional information on a project by adding another configuration section to the project file. While this has never been used to my knowledge (except by my as-yet-unreleased Abiathar Live Studio extension), I happened to be thinking about it recently. When Abiathar sees a configuration section, it asks all loaded extensions whether they recognize it. If an extension claims it, the configuration template provided by the extension is used to load the section.
If no extension claimed a section, it was silently ignored. This could be a problem if a project was opened without the extension used to create some important information, since the section would be lost upon saving. So I added a confirmation/warning when an unclaimed section is loaded.
