"member of"

Modification:

Add checkbox attribute "eponymous", showing that the member is the named band leader or in some way has elevated status above other members

Definition:

An "eponymous" member is one whose name appears in the band name. Typically this member is considered sine qua non, as the band would not exist without him/her.

Rationale:

For the data users who would like to see e.g. the discography of Robyn Hitchcock include releases by his band Robyn Hitchcock and The Egyptians but not include other bands he was a member of, this flag would let them distinguish between the two.

Being a band leader with orchestra, backing band, etc is a different role from simply being a member.

Examples:

• Miles Davis is an eponymous member of the Miles Davis Sextet
• Les Claypool, Buckethead, Bernie Worrell and Bryan "Brain" Mantia are eponymous members of Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains
• Frank Zappa is not an eponymous member of Zappa Plays Zappa (because he is not a member)
• Dweezil Zappa is an eponymous member of Zappa Plays Zappa
