I think that would be a good idea. For the ones who currently use core +
form, the file size would be reduced. And it would be much easier to use
for all those who simply haven't heard, or rather, read, about the form
plugin.

Currently both serialize methods have the same signature, but different
return types. I guess it would be less pain to keep the old serialize
like it this and rename the form serialize. On the other hand, it would
be less confusing to have a serialize() and serializeAsString() or
serializeQuery(). Or maybe serialize() - returns an array, and
serialize('&') - returns the form as a string joined with an ampersand.
I'd prefer a solution that works in a long term. As long as this is
introduced with a major release with proper release notes, it shouldn't
be a big problem to upgrade.
