[Zope] Suggestion for management screens

I put this as a suggestion and a question as well:  

How do you tell what type of 'thing' a property is?

Some are easy, a boolean is a checkbox, text is a field
(and BTW, what's the difference between text and lines,
they look identical??).

But some are unremarkable: e.g.; how do you tell the difference
between an int and a string if it's not obvious from the string:

336699  (as a string to be used as a bgcolor, for example)
336699 (as an integer).

<suggestion>
D.C., perhaps you might consider displaying the type info
in addition to what's already there... 
</suggestion>

Unless this is a newbie question and there's some real obvious
answer to this that I have missed

TIA,
