    initial v1  
    33First, we can simplify the code here by issuing one call to `add_meta()` regardless of post status, and thereby one `wp_die()` statement.

    5 We cannot edit the return of `add_meta()` to supply us with extra metadata for backwards compatibility. So, the work that function does to detect metakey must be duplicated here to decide whether `add_meta()` is failing because the user isn't allowed to edit it (by the meta being protected or capability checks) or if the value is empty.
     5Preferably `add_meta()` would supply us with extra failure information about why the routine failed, but we cannot modify the return value because of backwards compatibility.
