Comment (by nacin):

 I don't mind the circular reference. However, we also need to think about
 remove_meta_box(), too.

 If you are allowed to pass something to add_meta_box() that actually
 splits into multiple meta boxes due to individual contexts, then remove is
 going to end up needing to be called for each individual context. Or, it
 would need to do the same circular reference.

 I just think this complicates things. As to whether that outweighs the
 syntactical sugar, I'm not sure.
