Description

Currently, qpid-config takes all arguments as string, despite they are integers. E.g.:

qpid-config add queue myQueue --argument qpid.max_count=10

Checking the queue arguments e.g. in qpid-tool, one sees:

arguments

{u'qpid.max_count': u'10'}

(where u'10' stands for string and just 10 for int).

Broker handles (converts to int) the string value properly, just it stores the value as string.
