Investigate Piper's typing of options
It appears that Piper isn't enforcing the declared types of option values, causing commands to manage this on their own.
If we could be certain that the data we receive in a command was the proper type, we could simplify a lot of the commands.
(If we could do the same with arguments, that would be useful as well, but would require changes to lots of other places as well, and would be much larger in scope.)
When we fix this we should make sure that it's valid to send integer and boolean values to options that specify that they take strings, rather than forcing users to explicitly quote them. Since we know that integers and booleans are both safe to cast to strings we can do so before we create the CommandRequest.
