An ini setting is evil for this. People use serialized data as transport
format having that depend on an ini setting is bad.

suggestions:
- The decode function could check the format ("old" format will always
begin by one of aisfb or so followed by a colon, igbinary something
else)
- serialize() might get an extra parameter to set the format
- lateron, if we want: if old format is being use a deprecation notice
is shown when the older fomrat is being used)
