 enhancement?

 I thought about the same thing a few days ago. However adding this would
 be problematic since there is no global database table like `blogmeta`
 which we could use with the `WP_Meta_Query` class. As far as I can see,
 the "meta values" of a site are options and are stored in a separate DB
 `options` table for each site. It's not optimal for this approach, but
 there might be nothing we can do here at this point.

 Supporting meta queries will be no problem for a future `WP_Network_Query`
 though since network-related meta values (network options) are located in
 a global `sitemeta` table. :)
