 {{{#!php
 <?php
 return new WP_Error(
    'rest_meta_database_error',
    __( 'Could not update meta value in database.' ),
    array( 'key' => $name, 'status' => WP_Http::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR )
 );
 ?>
 }}}


 These 3 Error messages are actually not helpful, if you submit multiple
 meta fields, you don't know (at least not on the remote site) which meta
 was throwing the error.

 It would be more helpful/self explaining if the error message was more
 like:

 {{{
 sprintf( __( 'Could not update the meta value "%s" in database.' ),
 $meta_key ),
 }}}

 this way you could directly tell which meta field is throwing the error.
