## Discussion

Each entry is a dictionary with required `key` and `type` elements. The key is the user defaults key. The type is one of `string`, `bool`, `int` (any king of integer), `float` (any kind of floating point number, including double), or `color`.

A `title` key can provide a user-friendly display title for the entry. A `details` key can provide a user-friendly display description of the entry that is shown in a tool tip. A `options` key can provide additional infos about the entry.

Schema:

```
{
    title: NSString
    key: NSString (required)
    type: NSString (required)
    details: NSString
    options: NSDictionary {
        minValue: NSNumber (for type `int` and `float`)
        maxValue: NSNumber (for type `int` and `float`)
        enum: NSArray<NSString *> (for type `string`)
        enum: NSArray<NSNumber *> (for type `int`)
        enumTitles: NSDictionary<NSString *, NSString *> (for type `string`)
        enumTitles: NSDictionary<NSNumber *, NSString *> (for type `int`)
    }
}
```

- The `minValue` and `maxValue` options limit the range of possible values.
- The `enum` option provides an ordered set of possible raw values.
- The `enumTitles` option maps enum raw values to display titles. Raw values without a mapped title are displayed directly.
