Add helper methods to get and modify Extended Data on objects.
Reported by Daniel Parker | July 16th, 2009 @ 11:58 AM | in 2.0 - "Ambidextrous Octopus"
To read extended data on objects, you can get it inside the object request, but to create and update extended data, you have to use the totally separate DataExtAdd and DataExtMod elements. This is rather cumbersome, so I'm adding a couple of methods to help get the same things done, from inside the model you're working with.

Got this mostly working. I think I can make it a little easier still...

Made it easier to use:
QB::Customer.first(:IncludeDataExt => true) # => Includes extended data under the default owner '0'. Change true to a value if you need a different owner.
customer = QB::Customer.first
customer.load_extended_data # => Loads extended data into customer for the default owner '0'. Accepts one argument if you want to specify a different owner.customer.update_extended_data(key, value) # => Modifies extended data key with a new value, for the default owner '0'. Add another argument if you need to specify a different owner.
