Serializing a collection of objects with top level meta object

JSON API allows adding a top level meta object: http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-meta

{
  "meta": {
    "copyright": "Copyright 2015 Example Corp.",
    "authors": [
      "Yehuda Katz",
      "Steve Klabnik",
      "Dan Gebhardt",
      "Tyler Kellen"
    ]
  },
  "data": {
    // ...
  }
}

Is there a way to do it in marshmallow-jsonapi? It seems like it’s only allows to have a meta in Resource Objects.

@scottwernervt unfortunately this isn’t a solution to the problem, as meta field should be a top-level property so it should be:

{
    'data': {
        'type': 'user', 
        'id': 1,
    },
    'meta': {
        'custom':  'text'
    }
}

Instead of:

{
    'data': {
        'type': 'user', 
        'id': 1,
        'meta': {
            'custom':  'text'
        }
    }
}

I was playing with doing that, however I found that deserializing the data need a bunch of changes to _META_LOAD_FROM logic. It wasn’t designed with the idea of two Meta fields.
