The method takes an optional pointer to a metadata container.
Pretty-print functions may use that to refer to other metadata as it
is sometimes not sufficient to know only the value of the metadatum
that should be interpreted. Thus, it is advisable to always call this
method with a pointer to the metadata container if possible.
This functionality is currently only implemented for Exif tags.
The pointer is ignored when used to write IPTC datasets or XMP
properties.
Without the optional metadata pointer, you do not usually have to use
this function; it is used for the implementation of the output
operator for %Metadatum,
operator<<(std::ostream &os, const Metadatum &md).
See also print(), which prints the interpreted value to a string.
