	 * Short-circuits updating the metadata cache of a specific type.
	 *
	 * 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:
	 *
	 *  - `update_post_metadata_cache`
	 *  - `update_comment_metadata_cache`
	 *  - `update_term_metadata_cache`
	 *  - `update_user_metadata_cache`
	 *
	 * @since 5.0.0
	 *
	 * @param mixed $check      Whether to allow updating the meta cache of the given type.
	 * @param int[] $object_ids Array of object IDs to update the meta cache for.
