 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59657"
 Options/Meta APIs: Document type juggling of meta data.

 Document that unserialised data types are stored as strings in the
 database and returned as such by the meta data functions. For example,
 setting meta data to the integer value `1` will be returned as `"1"` when
 subsequently queried via `get_metadata()` and the related functions.

 Fixes ticket:61950.
