 Hi @DaveyJake,

 I have taken a look into this, and I am not sure there is much need for
 this wrapper function within core. My reasoning is that your function can
 be condensed down to the following:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 function post_meta_exists( $post_id, $meta_key ) {
     return metadata_exists( 'post', $post_id, $meta_key );
 }
 }}}

 From the above code it raises the question why not just use
 `metadata_exists()`?

 As I am not sure the reason to add this wrapper function in to core, I am
 going to mark this ticket with the `close` tag. However, please feel free
 to reopen this ticket if you wish to continue this ticket further. 😃
