 Hi Team!

 I checked the return types of the update_post_meta function and this fact
 was interesting:
 - false on failure or if the value passed to the function is the same as
 the one that is already in the database.

 It would be great to see the difference between cases of failure and the
 same value, because there is no way to know if it failed (and maybe needs
 to try again) or just didn't update because it had the same value. I think
 that before any update using get_post_meta function to check for the same
 value is not the best way if it will happen for example in a big loop.

 Thanks,
 Vahan
