I could use a box-like approach as used by Dar Scott to generate
strings that could hold multiple values. but this would add new API

The boxes module does handle arrays with arbitrary values in both the
keys and in elements; it does not require a couple of reserved
characters for flattening. (Note: some arbitrary values are not
valid keys, though, for example, keys can't have NULs.)
You can take some of those ideas.
Hide the whole thing with some wrapper in your API, so the format is
not visible.
For the future, we might ask RunRev for a canonical string version of
any array, even one with numbers or binary data or (future) subarrays
or Unicode. This would allow for array literals. We can even
pretend that all arrays are strings but somehow operations are fast.
