 The documentation for the `register_meta()` function would benefit from
 additional clarity to help developers recognize that the `$object_type`
 parameter does not mean custom post type and the implications that
 registering the meta field applies to all objects of a type.

 Within that method there are also missing default values and optional
 markers in the docblock as well as a backwards compatibility comment that
 could be more specific and useful in an inline comment.
