RSS metadata available?

I have a feeling this will end up over in the feature request area, but I'm looking to see if something is possible with FlexGet.

I'm trying to replace my ancient version of podget with FlexGet to automatically download several podcasts that I periodically listen to or watch. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to use the metadata from the RSS feed in any way. For example, I would like to define a template like:

templates:
  podcast:
    exists: /srv/Podcasts/{{feed_category|pathscrub}}/{{feed_title|pathscrub}}
    download: /srv/Pocasts/{{feed_category|pathscrub}}/{{feed_title|pathscrub}}/{{title|pathscrub}}

That way I wont have to specify individual paths for each podcast and can instead rely on the data in the feed.

In looking at the code, it looks like none of the feed medadata is available, is that true? I see some of the item metadata, for example I know I can use {{title}} to get the individual item title.

Thanks!
