/**
 * SECTION: gesmetacontainer
 * @title: GESMetaContainer Interface
 * @short_description: An interface for storing metadata
 *
 * A #GObject that implements #GESMetaContainer can have metadata set on
 * it, that is data that is unimportant to its function within GES, but
 * may hold some useful information. In particular,
 * ges_meta_container_set_meta() can be used to store any #GValue under
 * any generic field (specified by a string key). The same method can also
 * be used to remove the field by passing %NULL. A number of convenience
 * methods are also provided to make it easier to set common value types.
 * The metadata can then be read with ges_meta_container_get_meta() and
 * similar convenience methods.
 *
 * ## Registered Fields
 *
 * By default, any #GValue can be set for a metadata field. However, you
 * can register some fields as static, that is they only allow values of a
 * specific type to be set under them, using
 * ges_meta_container_register_meta() or
 * ges_meta_container_register_static_meta(). The set #GESMetaFlag will
 * determine whether the value can be changed, but even if it can be
 * changed, it must be changed to a value of the same type.
 *
 * Internally, some GES objects will be initialized with static metadata
 * fields. These will correspond to some standard keys, such as
 * #GES_META_VOLUME.
