An alternate way to help people find this information would be for me to just open a stackoverflow question about this an answer it; imo that'd actually be better than mentioning it in the yaml file.

Looks good to me. I think it's okay to document it here as well. I wonder if this could be fixed in the yaml package. Thanks!

Not sure if this is too hacky, but could the database backends be modified to accept either a string or number (then convert the number to a string?). https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/blob/b5b9e3ac6b69256f080db232ee387affd7fe6890/persistent-postgresql/Database/Persist/Postgresql.hs#L920

That would not work for passwords like "+123" or "123.000", which will be rendered differently than they parse.
