I only just found out about View dropConfig, which is super cool!

However, for data types, in particular numeric types (int1/2/4/8, float4/8), if your View template can be used for _any_ number, then you have to configure 6 props. It would be very useful to have a collective "numeric" data type which applies equally to all numeric types.

Idea:
