 In #14429 many have taken care to optimize the is_serialized speed.

 The function is of good general value and most often used to "maybe"
 unserialize.

 It was [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14429#comment:3 originally
 smabauers] who reminded that it's only about to check what it's about to
 check.

 ''Option values'', if serialized are only serialized Array, Objects or
 Strings. No exceptions. And they are ''always trimmed'' strings.

 As is_serialized() is of general use and might be used by plugin authors,
 maybe_unserialize can get a new playmate.
