    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    A recent (8.5.5.5) parser change introduced a problem where
    types that have default values noted in the file and are not
    Strings can be incorrectly processed.  For example:
    isolatedClassLoader=false #boolean,default(false)
    might be incorrectly processed, and as a result, the file
    might not apply.
