I'm not totally sure what you mean. The current parser will correctly
distinguish those 2 strings : "1" => 0x01 and "1.0" => 0xFF.
So I guess what you mean is that it is confusing for end user.
If so, the best solution might be to just drop support for base-10
numbers. Anyway, I can't really imagine a use case for it and I think
describing alpha value as a base-10 byte is not user friendly at all.
Is that what you had in mind ?
