Well, it's the only way for it to work in session storage containers
that won't accept values in array form.

Now that we have more attributes in config/prefs.php, perhaps we could
be even smarter about storing preferences.  In the preference driver's
restore() and store() methods, we could act different according to the
preference type.  We could make "filter" as an array and store it
using the above example in the LDAP driver and perhaps do something
different in the SQL driver.

Comments?
