Comment:

 In [attachment:42785.3.diff]:

 * Simplify the logic for deciding the post type `show_in_rest` default.
 * Show all post types for logged in users.
 * Show meta for logged in users.
 * Add tests for post meta showing for logged in users.

 TODO:

 * Duplicate the new post type logic in taxonomies.
 * Add many more unit tests.
 * Tweak the meta logic for logged in users, to hide meta with a name
 beginning with `_` that hasn't explicitly set `show_in_rest` to `true`.
