It would be nice for some plugins to use hashes as setup data structures
(which ones? pagespec aliases for one. Any others?), but these cannot
currently be adequately described in `getsetup()`, nor represented in
`websetup()`. It would be nice to extend ikiwiki to support this.
I've had an initial go at how to represent this in a nice way within a HTML
page. An initial mock up is available at
<https://github.com/jmtd/ikiwiki/blob/websetup_hashes/hash.html>. The
approach taken is to use a javascript hash/dictionary as the canonical copy of
the data; to express that in the form elements, and to capture all relevant
events to update the main data structure (and the HTML representations
thereof).
I imagine packing the js structure into a form element which is posted, and
ignoring the other form element data.
This would mean mandating javascript support for editing such hashes.
