Comment (by knutsp):

 Hello and welcome to Trac!

 Thank you for the suggestion. Might be a good idea, or a new function
 (`multi_get_*`).

 Sure, we often need to get values of multiple keys from meta or options.
 I use

 {{{#!php
 foreach ( array('key_1, 'key_2'...) as $key ) {
     $meta_values[ $key ] = get_post_meta( $post_id, $key, true );
 }
 }}}
 Why do you think would it be more efficient to specify multiple keys in
 the function call? The number of SQL queries generated when not cached?
