 go for serialized value structure and this seems to be a serious
 performance issue.

 I've pushed up the implementation that I've done specifically for
 improving the efficiency of sanitizing widget settings in the Customizer,
 which I believe is the overwhelmingly worst offender for performance:
 https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-widgets-plus/pull/6/files

 The approach here might be able to be generalized for any multidimensional
 setting, but I haven't thought it through.

 I've submitted this Customize Widgets Plus plugin to the WordPress.org
 plugin directory, but for now the feature plugin can be obtained on
 GitHub: https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-widgets-plus
