Comment:

 In [changeset:"48402" 48402]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="48402"
 REST API, Meta: Introduce support for default metadata values.

 The `register_meta()` API now officially supports specifying a default
 metadata value. When `get_metadata()` is called for a meta key that does
 not yet exist for the object, this default value will be returned instead
 of an empty string.

 A new function is introduced `get_metadata_raw` to retrieve the raw
 metadata value from the database, without applying the registered default.

 Props spacedmonkey, flixos90, rmccue, kadamwhite, mnelson4, johnbillion,
 chrisvanpatten, TimothyBlynJacobs.
 Fixes #43941.
