Schemas are often better than syntax typing. In other words the program decides what the type is, not the file.

If the schema allows union types, I don't want to deal with unquoted strings.

You don’t deal with syntax period. Union types are not desirable with configuration with the exception of |null perhaps, which should receive a default.
