Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 How about something like this?

 > Arrays and objects are stored in the database as serialized data and
 will be returned as the type used when saving the data.
 >
 > Other data types will be cast to strings for storing in the database and
 should be type cast after calling this function for use in their original
 form.
