Does the MVC architecture have a facility for a component to get/set metadata on a per-user basis?  (e.g. user preferences).  The com_config is a nice facility for component-based preferences, but I'm looking for user specific preferences for my component. 

Granted, this is easy to implement with my own model/table, I'm just looking to use the most from the framework as I can.

I think in reality there isn't a good place in general to handle this.
In theory you could utilise the user preferences however in practice
that's more effort than it's worth. I'd suggest you're better off
handling it yourself.

Cheers,
