/*
 * 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.
