--type string causes Prelude.read: no parse

[gasi]

Repro:

> confcrypt aws add --key "…" --type string --name FOO --value BAR config.econf

Solution:

> confcrypt aws add --key "$CONFCRYPT_KMS_KEY" --type String --name FOO --value bar app_config/dev.econf

-confcrypt aws add --key "$CONFCRYPT_KMS_KEY" --type string --name FOO --value bar app_config/dev.econf
+confcrypt aws add --key "$CONFCRYPT_KMS_KEY" --type String --name FOO --value bar app_config/dev.econf

This is not technically a bug, is it? The help screen for aws add clearly states:

  -t,--type PARAMETER_TYPE The associated type for the variable. Must be one of
                           [String, Int, Boolean]

The problem is when you set multiple flags, it prints back your entire config and then Prelude.read: no parse. This could be a more friendly error message that points to the problem. I didn’t figure out the problem until I asked Chris.
