[gmpi] Summary 8.3: Parameter data types

Just to wrap up this topic... How's this?


8.3. Parameter Data Types
-------------------------

Parameters must be capable of storing multiple datatypes.  At a minimum,
some numerical type, a string type and an opaque blob type are needed.
There may be valid reasons for providing a real (fractional) type that is
different from an integral type.  In addition to those primitives, it is
necessary to be able to represent enumerations of integers and booleans.

TBD: It may be desirable to provide double-precision and single-precision
real types (note that on non-FPU systems, real must not be a float).

TBD: It may be desirable to provide a 64 bit integer type (possibly instead
of 32 bit).
