It might be something like that, unless we want filtering on artists to
be more subtle in a way that would require some more complex structure
instead of a string.
In such a case, I think it would be simpler to create a specific test
function like grl_caps_test_artist_filter (caps, artist_filter); where
artist_filter is an instance of some complicated structure (or we could
have each member of this structure be an argument to
_test_artist_filter() instead of passing the structure).
