Author here. Would be happy to answer any questions or clarify things. Its very much moreso a 'fun/useful toy' than 'production software' but there are some interesting principles that tie into it.
Can you elaborate upon this in the readme? It wasn't clear to me whether git, ruby or the gkv has the naive implementation (or if the conversion only happens with the string '1').
Also is it possible to enumerate the versions of key-values that have been saved?
I'm sure I have several more questions but I'll leave it at that. Thanks for making this!
The typing is governed by YAML standards. This is why symbols are left out. Since it uses `YAML.dump` and `YAML.load` with the set/get, it will automatically assume the string '1' is an integer, '1.0' a float, and so on.

Yes, using the `get_version` method, you could do something like:
all_items = $ITEMS[key].map { |hash| db.get(hash) }
user system total real
set: 0.150000 0.080000 0.230000 ( 1.093421)
hash set: 0.110000 0.120000 0.230000 ( 1.085441)
get: 0.150000 0.040000 0.190000 ( 1.091698)
hash get: 0.110000 0.060000 0.170000 ( 1.075470)
