 In [changeset:"38041"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="38041"
 Meta: Ensure filters are backwards compatible for pre-4.6 style meta
 registration.

 When using `register_meta()` with the function signature from 4.5 and
 earlier, the `auth_{$type}_meta_{$key}` and `sanitize_{$type}_meta_{$key}`
 filters are used. Any calls to `register_meta()` expecting this behavior
 should continue to work. The new filters, which take advantage of object
 subtypes, should not be added unless the proper `$args` array is passed.

 See #35658.
