If you have a use case for this, why not?
Adding predefined frames in FramesFactory is not costly as they are  
built only as needed, so we can add as much as we want.

By the way, if you have an accurate definition of what the old B1950  
frame really is, this is also one frame that could be worth adding.  
There is a B1950-frame branch in the Git repository, but it was never  
sufficiently validated. It is also not in sync with master. If anybody  
want to give a look at it, they are welcome.

best regards,
Luc
