[dev] RFC: array values for preferences

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting Jan Schneider <jan at horde.org>:

> The problem is not that serialize() is somehow charset "unfriendly" but
> the result may still contain characters that the storage backend can't
> handle. We can of course do something that the Prefs_ldap driver already 
> does. It just base64-encodes all pref values. We can do this with the sql 
> driver as well but that takes away the possibility for admins to change 
> preferences directly in the backend in an easy way.

Not to mention, adds another layer of complexity/performance hit.
