#62483: maybe_serialize() does support double serialization, but does not the
developer if doing so

-------------------------+-----------------------------
 In #12930 the support of double serialization was added, in order not to
 break instances where developers used `maybe_serialize()` wrong, I
 recently stumbled upon a case from 2023 where this also happened.

 I suggest adding a `_doing_it_wrong()` if serialized code was sent to
 `maybe_serialize` in order to make less experienced developers aware of
 this.

 Patch coming
