That is about the worst possible way I can imagine to do it.

There are already pigments and patterns that depend on the normal, these 
patches just modify the code to make the necessary information 
available. There is no need to modify the syntax for such a thing, and I 
can't imagine why you thought there would be.
And the actual code doesn't even slightly resemble that. Try actually 
looking at the source before deciding how to add something...
