Description
https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/models/entities.html#property-casting
The `object` handler seems to expect the property to be set to an array.
https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/blob/0cd39937d7a8dbd8074237596024adce0fe3c2af/system/Entity/Cast/ObjectCast.php#L22-L25
https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/blob/0cd39937d7a8dbd8074237596024adce0fe3c2af/tests/system/Entity/EntityTest.php#L439-L449
However, when setting an array, we cannot save that Entity to the database.
```php
$entity = new class () extends Entity {
protected $casts = [
'id' => 'int',
'active' => 'int-bool',
'memo' => 'object', // Use `object` handler
];
};
$model = new class () extends Model {
protected $table = 'users';
protected $allowedFields = [
'username', 'active', 'memo',
];
protected $useTimestamps = true;
};
$entity->fill(['username' => 'johnsmith', 'active' => false, 'memo' => ['foo', 'bar']]);
$model->save($entity); // CodeIgniter\Database\Exceptions\DatabaseException : Operand should contain 1 column(s)
```
How is this handler used in the first place?
