+Returns the type of the given entry or {\it Unknown} if the entry doesn't
+exist. This function should be used to decide which version of Read() should
+be used because some of wxConfig implementations will complain about type
+mismatch otherwise: e.g., an attempt to read a string value from an integer
+key with \helpref{wxRegConfig}{wxregconfig} will fail.
