	/**
	 * Short-circuits the return value of a meta field.
	 *
	 * The dynamic portion of the hook name, `$meta_type`, refers to the meta object type
	 * (post, comment, term, user, or any other type with an associated meta table).
	 * Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function.
	 *
	 * Possible filter names include:
	 *
	 *  - `get_post_metadata`
	 *  - `get_comment_metadata`
	 *  - `get_term_metadata`
	 *  - `get_user_metadata`
	 *
	 * @since 3.1.0
	 * @since 5.5.0 Added the `$meta_type` parameter.
	 *
	 * @param mixed  $value     The value to return, either a single metadata value or an array
	 *                          of values depending on the value of `$single`. Default null.
	 * @param int    $object_id ID of the object metadata is for.
	 * @param string $meta_key  Metadata key.
	 * @param bool   $single    Whether to return only the first value of the specified `$meta_key`.
	 * @param string $meta_type Type of object metadata is for. Accepts 'post', 'comment', 'term', 'user',
	 *                          or any other object type with an associated meta table.
