Comment:

 `ptree` internally only has strings. `put` converts from the values you
 put in to strings, as `get` converts back. However, the tree itself only
 contains strings, and therefore so does the output JSON.

 Making a `ptree` variant that preserves JSON types is a future plan, but
 far off.
