Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 I strong disagree with the changing of the params here. `$meta_type` and
 `$meta_key` required here, as defaults are defined for type and key. If I
 was developing something I may want to do this.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
  if( get_user_meta( 123, 'test', true ) !== get_metadata_default( 'user',
 'test', true ) ) {
     // do stuff.
  }
 }}}

 Note I did not pass object id here.

 The only change I would think about is making less params optional. So

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 get_metadata( $meta_type, $object_id, $meta_key, $single = false )
 }}}
