+
+Allow addons to create and process custom item types.
+
+Addon authors will need to use iconfig meta data (with sharing on) or some other method
+to specify and determine whether the custom item is destined for their addon.
+
+It is fed an array of ['item' => ${item_array}, 'allow_exec' => {true/false}]
+
+By default $arr['item']['cancel'] is set to TRUE which will abort storage of the
+custom item in the item table unless the addon unsets it or sets it to false.
+
+[code]
+        if ($arr['item_type']==ITEM_TYPE_CUSTOM) {
+                /* Custom items are not stored by default
+                   because they require an addon to process. */
+                $d['item']['cancel']=true;

+                call_hooks('item_custom',$d);
