I guess this could be done with extra fields: 
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields

The syntax being something like 
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/special_use=\Sent ..? Or something like 
that. Note the userdb_import facility for passing multiple options.

sections and activate them with a single, simple extra field rather than 
pass the entire section itself?
In a similar manner to protocol imap { }, maybe we can have 
$extra_options1 == "yes" { } and pass extra_options1 = yes as an extra 
field?
