Changing the fundamental data type

[suntong]

Currently, the fundamental EasyGen driven data type is defined as:

// EgData -- EasyGen driven Data
type EgData map[interface{}]interface{}

I'm thinking to change it to map[string]interface{} instead, as it is not possible to Converting type map[string]interface {} to type map[interface {}]interface {}

This should not cause any problem in theory, @grrtrr, would you see if any? Thx.

Good move. The more concrete you can make the type, the better. It then is also easier to see what the map does, i.e. what kind of key.

Thanks for the input, will do...

Revisiting this topic as I've found that my existing code is broken, when converting from V1 to V2.

V1 allows arbitrary data like this,

type Inventory struct {
	Material string
	Count    uint
}

and so does the text Template. However, V2's map[string]interface{} type is too restrictive.

Reopenning it so as to make it accepting any arbitrary data, just like the text Template does.
