How to configure ExtJS 4 Store (proxy and reader) to read metadata

Question

My question is how to get metadata besides totalRecords, in my case it is version, code, searchquery (please look at json).

{
\"result\": {
    \"version\":\"1\

It is possible to use the 'metachange' event of the store.

All the non-extjs specific information can be grouped in JSON in the separate object:

{
    "result": {
        "totalRecords": "2",
        "account":[
            {
                "lastname": "Ivanoff", 
                "firstname": "Ivan", 
                "accountId":"1"
            },
            {
                "lastname": "Smirnoff", 
                "firstname": "Ivan", 
                "accountId":"2"
            }
        ]
    },
    "myMetaData": {
        "version":"1",
        "code":"200",
        "searchquery": "false"
    }
}

The store is configured as

Ext.define("test.TestStore", {
    extend: "Ext.data.Store",
    model: "test.Account",
    proxy: {
        type: "ajax",
        url: "users.json",  
        reader: {
            type    : 'json',
            root    : 'result.account',
            totalProperty: "result.totalRecords",
            metaProperty: 'myMetaData'
        }
    },

    listeners: {
        metachange: function(store, meta) {
            console.log("Version " + meta.version + "Search query " + meta.searchQuery);     
        }
    }
});
