@MichaelBorgwardt Awesome, but I assume there's no way to actually also define a structure I'd want to be respected, as in my question, the array must have "this key".

My suggestion is to use an object with a class instead of an array. Generally it does the same thing, and also actually runs faster than array since the system doesn't have to search for a key by name. So instead of saveToImportantList( $export_data['main_flags'] ); you will write saveToImportantList( $export_data->getMainFlags());
