Yes, that's why I said drive->str is a degradation.  The question is,
how important is that degradation?

I disagree.  This is true for the command line, and for historical
reasons it is also true for device-add, but the newer QOM commands are
type-safe.  You cannot pass an integer as a JSON string '123' to qom-set
or object-add, for example.
