Note - the mediaFunctions extension already supports this. (However, that
extension is super old. probably want something new maybe)

Lets not call it EXIF. We extract all sorts of metadata. Exif is but one type.

specified in an argument?

That's kind of a minor detail, but I would say default to current page, and
allow override in an argument.

The main issue with this, is the implementation of how metadata is stored is
kind of messy.
*Different file handlers store the metadata different ways
**Which raises the question of how much knowladge do we want to put in the
extension about how metadata is stored.

Most bitmap images store metadata in a somewhat similar way, but still use
different keys. Some things use a totally different scheme (ogg files for
example). Some field values for the metadata can have multiple values - how
should we expose that to the user - do we show all of them, can they select
which one. Certain values can have language alternatives (certain XMP
properties and PNG iTxT fields).
