+ * 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.
