 Replying to [comment:7 nerrad]:
 > in the theme of silly thoughts.  What about doing this?  If a shared
 term is detected, split it, then add the meta?  I guess the potential
 pitfall to that is maybe still not knowing what specific term (after the
 split) to apply the meta to?

 Yup, that's exactly the issue. See #34533 for some more discussion.
