Comment (by maorb):

 Why it should be double serialized?
 This means that if one will pass serialized data to the add_metadata()
 function, it will never be parsed ok, since it will add the second
 serialization.
 This causes breaking of the data when pulling out from the db..
 If double serialize is a must, maybe should have addition to the
 get_metadata() to handle it better?

 Thanks
