This is all true, but it does not change that we are bound by our API
guarantees.

> + * public Metadata API.
> + * Important concepts, to keep in mind
> + * 1. keys are unique, there are never 2 tags with equal keys, this is also
> + * meant semantically that is a demuxer should not knowingly produce
> + * several keys that are litterally different but semantically identical,
> + * like key=Author5, key=Author6.
> + * All authors have to be placed in the same tag for the case of Authors.
> + * 2. Metadata is flat, there are no subtags, if you for whatever obscene
> + * reason want to store the email address of the child of producer alice
> + * and actor bob, that could have key=alice_and_bobs_childs_email_address.
> + * 3. A tag whichs value is translated has the ISO 639 3-letter language code
> + * with a '-' between appended. So for example Author-ger=Michael, Author-eng=Mike
> + * the original/default language is in the unqualified "Author"
> + * A demuxer should set a default if it sets any translated tag.
