The issue, though, is that this would force people to enclose every
single string (which will be the majority of entries, at least in my
experience, in quotes. IMO, it is exceedingly poor design to require
extra stuff for the default case.
This may be a specific solution for the Class Designer use cases, but
in every situation I can think of, the options entered in the dialog
will all be the same type. Adding a selector to specify the type that
the entries should be might be a workable solution.
