> The TunableGenerator.scala file use the dafext.xsd file to generate code to 
> parse tunables. This handles things like correctly converting types or 
> handling default values. Unfortunately, it only does type validation, nothing 
> about value validation (e.g. value must be positive). This means we must 
> either add custom validation code for tunable values long after they have 
> been set, which can possibly lead to confusion, or we don't do any validation 
> at all, which can lead to undefined behavior.
> Instead, we should add xs:restriction's to the tunables list in dafext.xsd, 
> and have the TunableGenerator create code to validate based on these 
> restrictions. We don't necessarily need to support all XSD 
> restrictions--probably min/maxInclusive is suffiicient.
