Subject: [PATCH] Allow setting model attributes of array type.

Consider the following code:
    $model = new ModelName;
    $model->foo = [ [ 'foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => [ 'foo' => 'bar' ] ] ];
    $model->save();

Here we are setting a nested array as a model attribute.
Before this commit, the code above would have saved the "foo" property as an empty array.
