  • If a vector is stored in a list as "<7,5,0>" (as a string type, as opposed to <7,5,0> which is a vector type), its type will be returned as TYPE_STRING, not TYPE_VECTOR. The same applies for "1" being returned as a string instead of an integer, etc. There is no easy way to guess what the type should be from a string value. The users intent may not be obvious
