[libvirt] Ability to add arbitrary data to snapshots

Hello!

Currently our Virtuozzo company is working on some kind of management 
tool for libvirt. We encountered some problems with snapshots while 
development.
So I would like to ask community a few questions:
1) Would you mind if I extend current libvirt snapshot with ability to 
add arbitrary data (blob or some config files)?
2) Would this feature be useful for your users?

I see it as something like:
virsh snapshot-create VM1 --blob /path/to/some-file
virsh snapshot-revert  VM1 <number>
and /path/to/some-file appeared again.

Looking forward for your comments and help.
Thanks!
