Comment (by DD32):

 Editing serialized data was suggested on wp-hackers, And i've got a idea
 in my mind for how to achieve that thanks to some suggestions. (Well,
 Editing at least for Serialised Arrays, Objects are a bit harder).

 It could effectivly stay as a plugin, which is why i wrapped it up into a
 plugin for this ticket, Since the options page is rather obscure, it
 doesnt affect many users, But most of these are changes which are useful
 to most people who use the options page(for whatever reason), I know some
 people who have a couple of thousand options in their WP installs (from
 playing with plugins over the years) - To them, the ability to delete a
 group of options from a plugin they no longer use would be great.

 Its that reason why i thought as a core feature, It doesnt affect many
 people, But the options page IS there, Why not allow more control over the
 options for people who do tinker with their WP installs? (Thats more than
 just Plugin Developers, Allthough Devs are the main target for these
 changes)
