The way I see it, it would be used as follows: If you're on an image page, you
can just write {{#filemetadata:ImageDescription}} and it outputs the image
description from exif. The other options are things I would consider "advanced
options". Most of the time they'd be omitted.

I personally like parser functions, for simple quick jobs, and reserving lua
for complex templates, but I may just be weird.
