In fact, these conversion methods on Configuration could prove quite
confusing, because they bypass the Myrmidon Converter framework. In other
words, someone using:
Configuration.getAttributeAsBoolean()
in a self-configuring Task wouldn't necessarily get the same result as a
regular Task using:
void setAttribute( Boolean value)
would.
Maybe we'd want to implement helper conversion methods on TaskModel, but make
sure that they use the Converters available.
