I was thinking of adding this as well, but wanted to go one step at a
time.
I'm not clear in my own head at this point whether these would be
additional to or instead of the current
bool getXXX(const string& name, XXX& value);
member.
For clarity I'd be adding a member with signature:
template <typename T>
bool get(const string& name, T& value);
Actually this would be pretty simple as the FieldValue code already has
templates that look a lot like this.
