replace WrapperType enum with Strings to allow users to define their own FuncitoDelegates #46

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Right now, WrapperType does nothing but provide a string representation of the 
wrapper type to output diagnostic messages in case an exception (i.e., 
mis-usage) is encountered.  This could be replaced by Strings instead.   There 
is no other functional use (does not drive logic/decisions).

Normally, I would suggest leaving it closed with the enum, but as OSS, I want 
to be open to the possibility that others may want to locally add support for 
other functional-objects (probably other libraries) that don't make it into 
this product.

The only downside I see is that this would leave open the possibility that 
others would use Strings which could conflict with Strings that we use in the 
future if we make additions to supported libraries/wrappable-types.  However, 
the end result of this is merely that diagnostic messages could become 
unambiguous for that user only -- until she decides to change her String 
representation of her new wrapper type.
