I am wondering if it would be safer to check for "@metadata."? What if an event includes the key "@metadata2.keyname and wants to delete @metadata2? If I understand correctly so far, it means that Meta gets deleted.

I added a test case to show that Delete(@metadataSpecial) doesn't cause Meta to be deleted.
The reason it checks for @metadata is to allow for operations like Put(@metadata, map[string]interface{}{x: y}) and Get(@metadata). When it finds that @metadata as the prefix it then checks to see if the next character is a . so in effect it is checking for @metadata..
