 *  interfaces for traversing and editing metadata in FLAC files.
 *
 *  The behavior closely mimics the C layer interface; be sure to read
 *  the detailed description of the
 *  \link flac_metadata C metadata module \endlink.  Note that like the
 *  C layer, currently only the Chain interface (level 2) supports Ogg
 *  FLAC files, and it is read-only i.e. no writing back changed
 *  metadata to file.
