Comment (by flixos90):

 As discussed in yesterday's chat, [attachment:38323.7.register-meta.diff]
 is an update that only contains the actual changes to `register_meta()`
 and the surrounding infrastructure. [attachment:38323.7.wrappers.diff]
 contains the wrapper functions (the latter patch requires the first one to
 work).

 This allows for a better overview:
 * The first patch is now pretty much final and only needs unit tests and a
 review.
 * The second patch is what is still up for debate. In the current state,
 it simply adds all wrapper functions with subtype as first parameter -
 which is likely not what we want, since comments and users don't have
 subtypes. But we can go from there and tweak the patch after we have come
 to a decision.

 Going forward, please iterate on the patches separately.
