New description:

 Currently when retrieving an array of metadata values for an object (no
 meta key specialized), they are retrieved as serialized. Only when meta
 key is specified do we unserialize.

 We should array_map( 'maybe_unserialize' ) on what we plan to return
 instead of forcing plugins to call that themselves.
