If not it's fine.

Theoretically, it may be possible to do it with an exclude_metadate and a conditional, similar to this (mostly used for customizable video game player characters):
Code:
[defaults]
exclude_metadata_pre:
## Removes "CharacterName" if Male or Female CharacterName is already present.
characters=~^CharacterName&&characters=~^(Male|Female) CharacterName
You'd need to be careful with the regexes though - an overly generic regex could go wrong and remove 'A & B' when 'C/D' is present.
