 maybe_serialize is used in conjunction with maybe_unserialize. from a
 logical point of view, data passed through both functions should be
 returned unchanged:

 {{{
 <?php
 $data_original = ' original ';
 $data = maybe_serialize($data_original);
 $data = maybe_unserialize($data);

 printf('Original:"%s" Processed:"%s"', $data_original, $data);
 ?>
 }}}

 the output is:
 Original:" original " Processed:"original"

 this example shows that data has been unecessarily manipulated.

 when you look into the code you can see that maybe_serialize() trims the
 $data. this is of no use.

  # to trim a string use trim() php function
  # serialization is about arrays and objects, not strings
