The term 'metaliterature' might be appropriate, only... 
'metaliterating' sounds ... well ... goofy. (metaliteraturing? 
metalitting?)

So I don't have a problem with people using 'metathinking'. I know 
what *I* mean by it, and the fact that others use different shades of 
meaning for the word doesn't bother me, because you get that sort of 
confusion due to differing nuances of meaning with lots of terms.

However, it might be good to come up with a term that we can have an 
on-list definition for, that way we can reference it in discussion.
