	 * Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function.

	 *  - `get_blog_metadata_by_mid`
	 *  - `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.
