String is used almost everywhere, with the prominent exception of
fairly widespread use of 'boolean'. Arguably such booleans are
unlikely to vary across a <config> though, so the problem generally
does not assert itself.

Actually, I'm quite surprised, I thought we had 'int' in a number of
places. For 9.1, everything went in as a String, and maybe 9.0
corrected most of the 'int' cases to String. So I'm pleasantly
surprised that we have much less of an issue than I thought!
