Description
We currently have:
template<class T>
string ofToString(const vector<T>& values) {
...
}
But there is no corresponding
template<class T>
vector<T> ofFromString(const string & value){
...
}
This makes it impossible to do things like use a vector as a template parameter in ofParameter.

Research direction
Locate the existing ofToString(vector) and ofFromString implementations, then inspect how ofParameter uses string conversion. Add the corresponding vector conversion and verify that vector values can be used as ofParameter template parameters, including behavior for the supported element types.
