 Right now `remove_meta_box` actually acts as a `ban_meta_box`...
 essentially any meta box with the same id, page, and context will be
 banned from the page, even if (re)added via another `add_meta_box` call
 afterwards. Given that there's no nice `replace_meta_box`, a nice option
 would be to allow `remove_meta_box` to be called with a particular
 priority in mind, in which case we could easily `add_meta_box` with that
 same priority right afterwards and, in practice, replace the meta box.
