This approach implies that adding new fields will change existing
output, possibly just by updating the libraries without any changes in
ffprobe itself. I was recently bitten by it when adding a new
disposition, which suddenly breaks a number of completely unrelated FATE
tests.

I don't have strong opinions on how ffprobe Should Work(tm), but this
result seems annoying in practice at least.
