 Replying to [comment:16 siliconforks]:
 > Ultimately, in order to support Snuffleupagus, `is_serialized` would
 need to return `true` for that string - but then it would violate the rule
 that the behavior of `is_serialized` cannot change.

 OK, so your answer to
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53295?replyto=16#comment:13 my

 C) this function has been stated as "frozen in time", so there is by

 side-issue] to address this without polluting this thread.
