/**
* Short-circuits the return value when fetching a meta field by meta ID.
*
* The dynamic portion of the hook name, `$meta_type`, refers to the meta object type
* (post, comment, term, user, or any other type with an associated meta table).
* Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function.
*
* Possible hook names include:
*
* - `get_post_metadata_by_mid`
* - `get_comment_metadata_by_mid`
* - `get_term_metadata_by_mid`
* - `get_user_metadata_by_mid`
*
* @since 5.0.0
*
* @param stdClass|null $value The value to return.
* @param int $meta_id Meta ID.
