That's really more of an implementation idea - the requirement is the
ability to connect outputs and inputs of differing preferences.  Read the
section  http://www.hockin.org/~thockin/gmpi/#ramped_point_connect for that
info.

Well, String would be weird, but int can make sense, and so could enum.
It's really up to the receiver to handle it, I think, though there may be
guidelines in the implementation that allow or disallow these.
