Yes, you would need to actually create a spec implementation to improve the
error message in this case.

We haven't ever talked about spec'ing meta. In one sense I'd say the
general philosophy in Clojure is that meta is *not* part of the data (as in
how equality ignores meta), and thus it's not the purview of spec. But in
another sense I can see users creating a DSL to expect more from it.

Feel free to file an enhancement ticket to keep track of it.
