Subject: Arbitrary lisp functions in column-attributes

Hello all,

I would really appreciate it if it were possible to specify an arbitrary
lisp function to process node-properties when creating a column view.  For
example, you can currently have something like:

* Top node for columns view
   :PROPERTIES:
   :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %TAGS %PRIORITY %TODO
   :END:


But I'd like to be able to do something like:

   :COLUMNS: %ITEM{fn:process_item} %TAGS %PRIORITY %TODO

which would pass the ITEM property's value as a single argument to the
process_item function.  The returned value/string of the function would be
what appears in the column view.

Of course it would be good if one could also use a lambda expression in
place of the function name.

Does this sound like something worth working on?  I would certainly have
various uses for such functionality, so I imagine it would be useful to
others as well.

Regards,

Mark
