That doesn't really make sense. If I have albums tagged

ALBUMARTIST=Various Artists

and the option to rename 'Various Artists set to something like
'Compilations', then I would expect the ALBUMARTIST=Various Artists
albums to appear under 'Various Artists', regardless of the SBS option.
So they have to be two different artists.

I won't argue with this. It's the simplest implementation. However,
does it mean that you must do away with scanning logic that categorizes
albums as compilations based on either COMPILATION=1 tags or artist
makeup? If you do away with this logic then you make a mess of a very
large number of libraries where users do not have either COMPILATION or
ALBUMARTIST tags in any files.
