Passing a metadata file, as a value for a specific metadata value.

I'm looking for a way to pass a _metadata file_, but instead of _directly_ 
merging all metadata that is located on the _document root_, allow the user 
to specify something like this `--metadata-file key=metadata-file.yaml`.

My current workaround is a `Makefile` that reads the metadata file and adds 
all the metadata values as flags for the `pandoc` command. 

The _simplest_ use case I can think of (that I'm trying to solve in my make 
file), is to request a _json_ file with the version control data for a 
given file, and add them under a variable named _git_, such that we have in 
accessible in the filters and template the values as `git.status`, 
`git.commit`, etc...

Would this be something that fits with the project?
