 which would handle taxonomy and meta queries.

 I don't understand the point of the inheritance here.  Usually,
 inheritance involves substantial properties or behavior to be inherited;
 here, `WP_Object_Query` has two (private) methods and a property.  There's
 nothing to speak of being inherited; there's no expected re-use of the
 private methods for any given object; its code re-use could easily be done
 with a couple of functions.

 Also, the name is misleading.  Both of `WP_Object_Query`'s methods and its
 one property have to do with the object's ''meta'' information, not the
 object proper.
