Serializing multiple items to bytes isn't trivial, so often beginners fall into the trap of using output IO streams and Bukkit serialization instead, so these provide helpful extra methods to deal with item arrays.
Also kept the serialization methods exposed in API as a sort of textbook example/nudge in the right direction of what should be used instead of object streams
