 In register_meta(), many errors thrown, read like the following one: "Meta
 can only be registered against a core object type." However, one can
 register_meta for a non-core object by adding support via the
 `wp_object_type_exists` filter.

 The wording of this error can be really misleading in this case. A better
 error message might read "Meta can only be registered against allowed
 object types"
