One additional thought I had was to have another class that perhaps does
the value checking and enforces the config YAML and then passes a value object
(a collection of all the backing maps) to the ConfigTransformer. Long term, we
may not have this particular process and could isolate the actual validation
and checking elsewhere. In lieu of the manual checks, we may be able to make
use of something like [Kwalify](http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kwalify/) (no clue as
to its quality) which might help in cutting down on the onerous and manual if
statements for each individual scalar.
