That was my concern that nothing was baked into ConfigObj. Thankfully most
of the strings are accepted by Highcharts, but there's certain ones like
marker:
{ enabled: false } needs to be false, not a string ("false"). Substituting
"false" for integer 0 works, but ConfigObj sets this to string "0". An
option like marker, lineWidth, lineWidthPlus, and many more are optional
non-coded user-controlled options and I don't have an easy way to intercept
each one and to convert to integer. Simply because the generator accepts
all highchart series configs without me needed to add more overhead.
I may have to get fancy with JavaScript and loop through the series Object
keys and convert any value to a number that can be converted.
