 As WordPress 4.4 takes Taxonomy Term Meta, it's a huge leap. Kudos to the
 team's effort.

 But as in Add New Post/Add New Page contains an additional meta box named
 "Custom Fields" for adding data into the `postmeta` table, taxonomy term,
 not even in default taxonomy term contains any of such meta box. So the
 `termmeta` table becomes writable only by the Programmers and the
 programmers only. But using Custom Fields meta box a general user can use
 the `postmeta` table.

 Screenshot 1: Enabling Custom Field Meta Box in Add New Post page
 Screenshot 2: Add New Post's Custom Field Meta Box
 Screenshot 3: Term doesn't contain any of such Meta Box

 So the only option remains to a developer is to add necessary fields using
 hooks - the old method.

 Can we add "Custom Fields" meta box for taxonomy terms too?
