What does this function really? It operates the action bound to
M-<left> according to the context. So an appropriate name might
be something like `org-contextual-metaleft'.
I think using `org-metaleft' instead of `org-contextual-metaleft'
is not that confusing, especially because the docstring is clear.
Finding the right level of "description" when naming contextual
commands is tricky, `org-metaleft' isn't a bad trade-off.
