This would be valid only if one knew Allegro would *never* use
one of these for its own purposes, which is not true. You don't
want a widget to use your data field to store something. And you
don't want to find out that a newer version of Allegro does this
with a field it didn't use before. Thus the need for a field that
is specifically reserved to the user.
