Comment (by anonymous):

 the idea looks nice. the C-style casts don't. the try/catch cascade with
 lexical_cast for guessing the type from string looks even more horrible,
 but there's nothing else to do since INFO files don't have any hints like
 "this property has that type" inside. it's too bad that the library
 maintainer didn't pay attention yet, maybe he could suggest something.
