Changeset 37991 for trunk/src/wp-includes/meta.php

Message:

Meta: Make registration error conditions return consistently.

In doing this, non-core object types are no longer forcibly blocked and are instead checked against wp_object_type_exists() which has a filterable return value. Still, filter that at your own risk.

props Faison for the initial patch.
see 35658.
