Description
Adding a --data-format=none|skip (or a new option like --no-data or --except-block-data) might make metaflac --list more useful to quickly check the meta-contents of a flac file.
Or maybe a --application-data-format=summary|brief|oneline.
Thus avoiding kludges like
metaflac --list <flac> | perl -ne '/^ {4}[0-9A-F]{8}: / and next; s/(?<=^ {2}data:)/ <skipped>/; print'
