The table's GetValue is supposed to always deal with strings in order to 
comply with the API.  There is some limited support to query the table 
and find out if it can provide the value as other types, but so far it 
can only deal with longs, doubles and bools.  In the past I've thought 
that it would be nice for the table to be able to provide the data as a 
PyObject* (ie, any Python object) but I haven't tried implementing that 
yet.
