### `additionalMethods` (object)

Format TBD.
In the form of:

```js
{
foo: true,
bar: true
}
```

Which says the db has two methods, `foo` and `bar`, that are not part of the `abstract-leveldown` interface. It might be used like so:

```js
if (db.supports.additionalMethods.foo) {
db.foo()
}
```

For future extensibility, the properties of `additionalMethods` should be taken as truthy rather than strictly typed booleans. We may add additional metadata (see [#1](https:/Level/supports/issues/1)).
