Notes

Currently, there's no way to specify case-/accent-sensitivity. Insensitive matching will be used for an annotation if it was indexed insensitively, otherwise it will fall back to sensitive matching. Metadata fields will always return insensitive (lowercased, no accents) unless complete=full is specified, in which case the unchanged original value is returned.
