Don't forget overloading! (Would be: Re: [vorbis-dev] Tag Comments/Format)

[Nathan I. Sharfi]

Don't forget about overloading...I've forgotten all of the discussions on,
say, overloading COMPOSER with both "George Gershwin" (for completeness) and
"Gershwin" (for display).

anyone want to share their heuristics? I'm waiting for in_vorbis to do
%shortestof[] and the like in its tag viewer.
