That doesn't make sense.  Extended attributes as implemented by Windows
are user attributes, not system attributes.  The non-user attributes
on Linux have a very special meaning to the kernel and/or are restricted
to privileged users only.  Their functionality is already provided by
other OS functions (as for system.posix_acl_access) or not at all (as
for security.selinux).
