Overview
The idea behind this suggestion is that the inventory of hoppers should be expandable through pouches. This is to save space in cramped systems that might not have room for a chest.

Creation
I have 2 different idea for this, but I prefer the first.

1.) Shift click a pouch onto the hopper. I prefer this because it is another in world crafting mechanism, which I rather enjoy.

2.) Craft the hopper and pouch in a crafting grid. A bit boring imo.

The pouch could be removed by shift clicking the hopper as well, and would take all of the item in the hopper with it.

Specifics
The hoppers would retain the same functionality, but would have their inventory expanded to the size of the pouch. This means that there will be a loss of the original 5 slots that a hopper has. It would still be in the same block space.

Textures
As I can't claim the be much good at this, I'll stick to descriptions. It would appear as an unaltered hopper on the top, but would appear as a 3-D pouch at the bottom.
