 The `get_metadata()` function has one filter hook:
 `get_{$meta_type}_metadata`. While this filter can be used to override or
 short-circuit the return of `get_metadata()`, it can't easily be used to
 filter the meta value. In the options API, `get_option()` has two hooks:
 `pre_option_$option` and `option_$option`. The `get_{$meta_type}_metadata`
 corresponds to the former, but it would be useful to have something
 similar to `option_$option` that will filter the actual meta value. Maybe
 `get_{$meta_type}_metadata-{$meta_key}`?
