typeof

[dvv]

Hi!

I'm sure you're aware of JS quirks in type detection, and e.g. typeof (new Number(4)) === 'object'. This can completely break coercion logic. I'd suggest to use robust _.isXXX() to determine the types of the instances, given you already required _ as dependency.

Best regards,

Using _'s type checkers is not acceptable (on the server side), their performance is too low. I agree to another field (like "safetyping: true") in this case. For what do you need a number/boolean/... object?

I personally do not need these objects. But this is quite a valid use case, so we should account for it.

What to real implementation, it's up to you. Personally, I'm inclined to state that speed is good, but not as direct tradeoff of algorythm confidence.
