Implementing a new protocol level (which would be required if we
change the info, which is returned to the user) is more work! Handling
it internally shouldn't be difficult - we already do something like
that with the DYEAR and the DGENRE fields, which are only presented to
the querying application, if it's using protocol level 5 (or higher).
To filter one line from being displayed to users should be pretty
easy.
