There are multiple hardcoded "1.96"s in the code for metaplot() and
summary.meta.MH().
You'd have to replace those with -qnorm((1-conf.level)/2) (== 2.576
and 1.645 for 99% resp. 90%) either manually changing the value or -
better - by adding a parameter to the routines (and contributing your
fixes back to the maintainer).
