Description
The documentation for the register_meta() function would benefit from additional clarity to help developers recognize that the $object_type parameter does not mean custom post type and the implications that registering the meta field applies to all objects of a type.
Within that method there are also missing default values and optional markers in the docblock as well as a backwards compatibility comment that could be more specific and useful in an inline comment.
