Currently, the PropertyType.toString() method returns simply a capitalised version of the type name from the code.

This means little or nothing to a user, who probably doesn't know what a "boolean","double","integer" or "string" is.

The reason I'm not just going to change this full-stop is because it would break compatibility with previous versions.

It's better to change it sooner rather than later, but I want to change it for a milestone release and not just halfway through a version number. It would make more sense for 0 not to be compatible with 1 than 0.2 not being compatible with 0/0.1.

In other words, don't do anything to this issue until we're close to releasing version 1!
