 I think we should work on improving the API for handling meta_boxes,
 specifically when it comes to the ones dealing with post_meta.

 Specific improvements I'd like to see are:

 Automatic handling of checking against the revision, DOING_CRON,
 DOING_AJAX, and DOING_AUTOSAVE before firing the save method.

 A registration method similar to registering post_types so that plugins
 that add post_types can see registered meta_handlers like registered
 post_types can be seen.

 Built in handling for the post_type_supports() methods based on arguments
 when registering the meta_handler.
