That's what the MetadataLevel is for. For example, the BMPReader only
populates optional metadata when the MetadataLevel is set to a value higher
than MetadataLevel.MINIMUM:

https://github.com/openmicroscopy/bioformats/blob/v5.0.2/components/formats-bsd/src/loci/formats/in/BMPReader.java#L291-L316

However, the ImageJ plugin always sets the metadata level higher than
MINIMUM. So while your reader can respect that value, it won't really save
any time at the ImageJ level to do so.

Regards,
Curtis
