...or "l'" (e.g.: "le arbre" is abbreviated "l'arbre").

In any case, I imagine we probably all agree that such
functionality should be a configurable option. I, for one,
would generally rather be aware if I've got at least one
(presumably) incorrect instance of a group's name in my
collection.

Perhaps there could even be a variety of options, for example:
  - Do nothing (current behaviour)
  - Explicitly alert the user, then (at the user's
discretion) either do nothing, or change the relevant ID3
tags / filenames / etc to a user-specified norm
  - Automatically correct in Banshee (as per the suggestion)
