 I have a metabox added via plugin that connects a custom post type with
 users. But I don't like the name of the Meta Box, it obscures the purpose
 of the box. So, the plugin doesn't have this option, and I have to change
 global $wp_meta_boxes for the desired effect, which isn't the correct
 thing to do. Of course, I could write a plugin author plea to add a filter
 (and it will be the third "brilliant idea" from me in two days 🙈), but it
 is possible to stumble across this need with another plugin as well. This
 is why I think it is necessary to add the filter to the core.
