I don't know if filefield is even remotely heading in this direction, but I thought I'd share this patch in case anyone else needs it.

Emvideo has several hooks to alter the field and widget, and I think that functionality would be very helpful in filefield. The alternative is to create a new widget or field based on filefield, but that can be overkill.

In my case, I just wanted to add a couple of user defined variables to the $data serialized array.

indenting seems a bit off and we should really document the hooks. imagecache has an imagecache.api.php that mirror's D7's core setup.

This hook is not necessary, you can already accomplish the exact same thing with hook_elements() provided by Drupal core. See the FileField Sources module for an example of how to do this in action.
