Do not overwrite numbers #12

I know there's a setting «Overwrite existing text» which is disabled by default by the way – but it only works to text it seems.

If a property is a number, and it's added to a folder where some of the notes already have it – they all get overwritten.

I'm not actively developing Obsidian plugins at the moment, so I won't be working on this anytime soon.

If someone wants to, you could probably start here, as that function is what determines whether the value should be combined or overwritten based on type. This check is done to ensure that incompatible types like checkmarks and dates aren't combined. I followed Obsidian's Property typing definitions and only made it possible for raw text to be combined.
