• fields connected with data get an array of $post objects of the selected post(s)
• wysiwyg return the value run through wpautop()
• boolean returns a boolean true or false (not the strings '1' or '0' as stored in the DB)
• checkbox, radio, select[multiple="multiple"] return an array of values
• date, datetime fields return time() values
• everything else returns a string of the first meta entry in the database matching that key
