initial	v1
1	1	There are (at least) three ways this could be implemented:
2	2

4	4
5	5	2. A better way would be to store the primitive (basic) PHP types: `0` would be default and unset, 1 would be boolean, 2 would be int, 3 would be float, 4 would be string, etc. (https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.intro.php). Then the data can be type-casted after retrieving it form the DB. This will also improve/fix one of the long-standing problems with saving a specific type to the DB but retrieving it as a different type, like saving bool `false` but getting string `'0'`.
