Description:
------------
For the unknowing, pickle is the python derived term for object
serialization. Currenlty, session management has such functionality,
but this functionality is not exposed to the programmer to be done
outside of using a session. I propose there be a pickle/unpickle
function that uses the same serialization method that the session
managment uses.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$foo = array(1, 2, 3)
$string = pickle($foo);
echo $string;
$bar = unpickle($foo);
echo $bar;
print_r($bar);
Expected result:
----------------
a:3:{i:0;i:1;i:1;i:2;i:2;i:3;}
Array
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 )
