This a Dictionary<string,string> I can attach to GameObject and that is serializable since Unity cannot serialize them by default.

I decided to leverage TypeDescriptor to be able to convert any type of convertible object instead of adding numerous overloads such as GetInt, GetFloat, GetBool, GetString.

I decided to not implement IDictionary<TKey,TValue> for a couple of reasons:

• exposing Keys property would be confusing since values are not all string
  


• the enumerator makes little sense as well unless it returns object values


• there are many members that I will never use from it

It works as expected, simple and straightforward but improvements are welcome!
