If I meant that my entire post would make no sense :-) Yes, I would be
feeding it a string. Some say it shouldn't work that way. Fair enough,
I can accept that feeding a string to something not expecting a string
should produce an error. But why doesn't conf['myint'] = '1' produce
an error? I'm feeding it too a string. Why can I feed a string in one
case but not the other when in neither case a string is what is
expected. What I'm feeding is wrong in both cases: in one case
implicit conversion occurs, in the other it doesn't.

(This post is just to clarify my previous message, as promised I
stopped arguing my point :-)
