  <para>
   <function>Phar::setMetadata</function> should be used to store customized data
   that describes something about the phar archive as a complete entity.
   <function>PharFileInfo::setMetadata</function> should be used for file-specific meta-data.
   Meta-data can slow down the performance of loading a phar archive if the data is large. 
  </para>
  <para>
   Some possible uses for meta-data include specifying which file within the archive
   should be used to bootstrap the archive, or the location of a file manifest
   like <link xlink:href="&url.pear;">PEAR</link>'s package.xml file.
   However, any useful data that describes the phar archive may be stored.
