This plug-in is poorly designed, IMHO. If the badges can display arbitrary
content, just expect string input and let the calling code handle arithmetic.
Trying to pack that into the plug-in is dumb, and results in very complicated
dance of type checks and typecasts which tries to guess what the user intended.
It'd be better to decline to infer / guess and just leave that logic to the
user.

It reminded me of this: http://imgur.com/EXUmo (in case of link-rot: it's a
fake StackOverflow question that pokes fun at the tendency to approach every
problem with jQuery.)
