This is part of a string we expected the user to actually enter as a
text into a text field/cell or even in text view in plist format in
EO/DBModeler (the application used to manipulate the models).
I guess we could also provide an additional interface with a combo box
cell but it would be pretty inconsistent with the way other keys of the
same connection dictionary are handled. (One NSTextFieldCell of a table
view would need to be replaced automagically when a certain key is
entered into another cell.)
Also current models contain these strings and they would have to be
adapted. I think that I'd rather add the mapping to GDL2 if it's not
provided by base in the future.
