Under nodeapi in drupaldocs, the return value for the load operation is
listed as "The "load" operation should return an object containing
extra fields to be merged into the node object. "


http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/hook_nodeapi


However, when I return a value like so from a module:
case "load":
$obj = new stdclass;
$obj->foo = "bar";
return $obj;
break;


$node->foo is not defined when the node is loaded. Now, this means the
doc either has to be more specific about how the object is merged, or
is simply wrong.


The implementations I have seen (and the ones I have gotten to work
myself) all are coded like so:


case "load":
$node->foo="bar";
break;


Anybody have any input on this confusion?
