[gmpi] Decision Time: 8.3

Ahh, our old friend DATATYPES!


8.3: What data types can be used for parameters?
-----------------------------------------------

It has been suggested that parameters only need one type.  It has been
suggested that we need extensible arbitrary types.  Some ideas:

a) Every parameter is a float
b) Every parameter is a float or a blob
c) Every parameter is a real (float on FPU, fixed on non-FPU) or blob
d) Real, int, string, blob, bool, enum, ...
e) A more limited subset - what is NEEDED vs. what can be built out of
   others?

suddenly there's a big market for "Dummies" books.  Cause and effect,
or merely an ironic juxtaposition of unrelated facts?
