Comment (by rvdalen):

 Hi Marko,

 I am using a Haskell library for reading the results, and it has to have
 the same type for all the option values (in my case String).  I think I
 can work around this.  I just thought that it might be a bug and I would
 check that out first because all the other property values are strings.

 Thanks for the quick reply.

 Regards.

 > Hey Rouan, Thanks for your patch but I guess in this case it's more a
 feature then a bug. The problem here is that even if we want to change the
 type that we still can't really fix it without to possible break clients
 that already using it.

 for me this would still work. I'm curious what your issue is with this.
