That's horrible! If it went to store it that way, at least it should
have provided an accessor which translated it into an array.

That it does; with some tweaking I can make it output nicely as an array for both JSON and XML too. But beyond that, there's not much structure to the UploadWizardCampaign class's configuration array.

When the extension is the only consumer, we have some flexibility for
later fixing the interface. If there third-party apps are reading from
such API, it gets set in stone and we can no longer fix it.
I'd at least provide a sane interface through the api. It's not so
urgent to fix the extension, but it should eventually be done, too.
