What I'm proposing is no hierarchy at all. Neither for Preference or 
PreferenceType.

I'm proposing adding a 'preferenceType' instance variable to Preference, 
and bind that to Smalltalk classes, like Boolean, String, Integer, 
Color. Or instances of Array for list of options. Or something else that 
can be handled by some tool.

Then it is up to the tools then to use that information for building 
widgets the way they like.
