[wp-hackers] WP_Query() for meta_value = Empty or Missing?

[Dan Smart]

I had the same issue just the other day also, and would +1 any query for
'empty' or similar.

I ended up doing two queries - one for those with the meta_value, and then
doing a second with 'post__not_in' for the ids. It worked for me because I
needed to display those with the meta_value separately, so it wasn't a lost
query.

Thanks for confirming.  Any chance of a near term addition for this kind of
thing?  
Could we add options for 'null', 'empty' and 'nullorempty' to meta_compare?
