Comment:

 The second patch is a suggested enhancement. It replaces the = operator
 with a LIKE operator, allowing to mass-delete post meta, like:

 {{{
 delete_post_meta_by_key('_plugin_cache_%')
 }}}

 I needed this a couple of time in my own plugins and ended up using SQL to
 achieve it. Having it in the wp core would be a plus.
