Custom fields support

[robhrt7]

Could you please add custom fields support in parser?

/**
  * @name Button
  * @description Your standard form button.
  * 
  * @custom Some custom info
  * @templateName Link to template
  * 
  * @markup
  *   <button class="button">This is a button element</button>
  */

This fields will allow to integrate some custom features on top, like template include support. We would really love this feature for our SourceJS integration.

I guess its possible to configure with custom parsers as well?

@operatino Do you just want to add a new field, called "custom" in your example? – This is doable by adding a parser like:

var dss = require('dss');
dss.parser('custom', function(i, line, block){
  return line;
});

@operatino Custom parsers are your friend here. Here's an example (basically the same as @ahx's):

Example Custom CSS/Comment:

// ...
// @custom Some custom info
// ...

Example Custom JavaScript/Parsers:

// Parser for @custom
dss.parser( 'custom', function( i, line, block ) {
  return line;
});

Example Custom HTML/Template (using grunt-dss):

{{#files}}
  {{#blocks}}
     <h1>{{custom}}</h1>
  {{/blocks}}
{{/files}}

Why you don't want to add custom fields automatically, without defining a custom parser? JSON could be just auto populated with custom fields, following default parsing strategy.

Ahhh, sorry @operatino, I didn't realize what you meant before. We can definitely make a very simple change that would allow any custom variable to be parsed properly/fallback and then if you want to do something special on top of that default then you could define a custom parser. I like this and it makes a lot of sense. I'll reopen.
