Comment # 5 on bug 9360 from 
You know, it's funny, a while back I started writing some checkAPIs code to
find "conflicting" hf's with the same abbreviation.  This came after a bug or
comment in a bug (which I won't try to find now) where 2 hf's with conflicting
types caused a crash when you tried to apply a filter using that abbreviation.

But then I got confused about what types really conflict.

And this "UINT8 and STRING conflict" bug is actually one of the cases which I
found did *not* conflict.  Well, I found that they did not conflict if the int
field had a value_string (because the df code will try to convert the string
back to an int-type using the value string).

Maybe this needs more thought--but in a separate bug which I'll create shortly.
