This function works best if the dictionary passed contains fully typed values. The "Default" dictionary has a tendency to contain empty vectors for args that take a list, and this does not provide enough information about what goes into the list (especially chaserArgs where the contents are themselves vectors). The newly introduced "Guide" dictionary provides all the information for proper parsing.

The value is not important. Only the type.

We have int and float values in the args: startTime, endTime, frameStride, so we need a way to unparse them.

All the setters take an extra argument to enable the field or not depending if the value was set from a regular argument, or from an argument provided by a job context.

For testing interactively in Maya. Provide a few interesting values to make sure the fields are correctly updated and disabled.
Add a job context dropdown called "Plug-in Configuration:" in both
import and export dialogs when in USD mode.
This dropdown will be populated with the available job contexts.
Selecting on the the job context will populate the UI with the settings
provided by the job context, and these settings will be made read-only.
