GetPluginConfigType() v. plugin.getConfigType()

[GKusnick]

I've just noticed that where plugin.getConfigType() returns an int (logically an enum), GetPluginConfigType() returns a String. So apparently there's some internal translation going on between the integer values generated by the plugin itself and the string values returned by the PluginAPI.

Is there a story behind this apparent inconsistency? Why not just pass through the integer values unaltered and let the config code in the STV deal with them as integers, like this:

If GetPluginConfigType(Plugin, SettingName)
  > sage_SageTVPlugin_CONFIG_BOOL
  > sage_SageTVPlugin_CONFIG_INTEGER
  > sage_SageTVPlugin_CONFIG_TEXT
  ...

instead of this:

If GetPluginConfigType(Plugin, SettingName)
  > "Boolean"
  > "Integer"
  > "Text"
  ...
