Yes it would, I believe. But we want the value to be `true` for backward
compatibility. (This also addresses your next comment). So we need to know if
the value is missing. Can only do that with a non primitive AFAIK.

> Workspace definitions in the dfs plugin are intended to provide a convenient
> shortcut to long directory paths. However, some users may wish to disallow
> access to paths outside the root of the workspace, possibly to prevent
> accidental access. Note that this is a convenience option and not a
> substitute for permissions on the file system.
