 * Hi
 * is it possible to specify a set of extra meta data fields for a particular (custom)
   post type?
    I imagine we have 3 Post types: 1) Normal article 2) Event 3) Newsflash
 * Each requires a different set of extra meta data fields
 * What do you think?
 * Many thanks

 * Is it mean to have different custom fields to each post type? It is possible,
   if it.

 * yes, I could imagine that I can define if a new field is global (all post types)
   or used by specific post types (one or more)
 * thanks
