folks is there a field type for things that could be bools or strings? for https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/21450 , the field is a bool for Docker but a string (well, an enum) for podman.
I thought I'd get back into development with an easy ticket lol

Frankly if there are "flavor" differences between Podman and Docker, I would rather we model some common UX in
BULD
files and then map that UX to each of Docker and Podman.

for example, if the boolean state for Docker maps 1:1 to two of the Podman enum states, then just model the state as an enum.

Probably better to have the DX discussion on that issue.
