as numeric types

_______________________________________________________
Details:
As previously noticed in bug #16571, the WML config class gained (in r42807)
the ability to reinterpret WML attributes as smaller data types, resulting in
performance and memory usage optimizations.
This optimization has the potential to interfere with WML attributes that
look like number (or which the underlying implementation may interpret as
such).
As an example, you can add the following code snippet to any scenario and
compare with the in-game results:
[event]
name=start
[message]
speaker=narrator
message="000000"
[option]
message="01234567890123456789"
[/option]
[option]
message="99999999999999999999"
[/option]
[option]
message="-"
[/option]
[/message]
[/event]
This is unlikely to be a problem except for very special cases (one of which
is bug #16571, covered by r52334), which is why I'm assigning the lowest
priority to this bug, but it might be worth it to remind coders that this
issue still exists and may interfere with future C++ or Lua code.
