### My Question

I wanted to add more properties to the PointCloud class and still make sure all point cloud related functions can work properly, such as **o3d.io.read_point_cloud** and **o3d.io.write_point_cloud**.

```python
class SegmentedPointCloud(o3d.cpu.pybind.geometry.PointCloud):
def __init__(self, points, normals, colors, MORE_PROPERTIES):
super(SegmentedPointCloud, self).__init__()
self.points = points
self.normals = normals
self.colors = colors
self.MORE_PROPERTIES = MORE_PROPERTIES
```
