Description
I would like if the parser could somehow parse the Effect Portion of an event as a string and expose it in the parsed object.
For instance, it would be useful in determining what lines represent karaoke lines in the following example.

I understand that Effect can only EffectBanner or EffectScroll and that this utilisation is not part of v4.00+ ASS specifications, but the KaraTemplater from Aegisub ignores that all the time and uses the Effect property to store fx, template, karaoke and such instructions. This is why I think it could be useful
