This is just an alternative approach to dealing with the issue outlined here

The idea being that any type can be casted to a string this would allow a file to be opened without raising on the first try without too much hackiness.

I'm not really sure which is "better" or more desirable.

With v0.12 you can now do load a sheet with dtypes = "string" directly to set it for all columns
