Improvement: FromPropertyList overloads which accept CF::Data

[macmade]

FromPropertyList takes a path. You can use FromPropertyListString, which takes a std::string, when you have the property list data.

Note that CF::Data declares a cast operator for std::string, so you can simply:

CF::Dictionary::FromPropertyListString( CF::Data( cfDataObject ) );

Declaring a specific overload would cause some ambiguity between CF::Data and std::string.
That being said, FromPropertyListData could be OK.

Thanks for the tip regarding the cast operator, nice!

Looking at the implementation, wouldn't this imply a lot of to and froing ? CF::Data to std::string when casting, then in the implementation of FromPropertyList( std::string ), from the string back to CF::Data?

Yup, sure...

I think I'll go with FromPropertyListData, as this will be straightforward and will remove the ambiguity.
