Joi: Strict Boolean vs Mostly Boolean

[richie5um]

Context

• _node version_: v4
• _joi version_: v9
• _environment_ node
• _used with_ standalone
  

  What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce ?

As described in the documentation, the boolean check is not strict - all of these are valid:

Joi.validate(0, Joi.boolean());
Joi.validate(1, Joi.boolean());
Joi.validate('true', Joi.boolean());
Joi.validate('false', Joi.boolean());

Which result you had ?

All of these validate.

What did you expect ?

Would it be possible to have a boolean() and a strictBoolean(), where strictBoolean only validated if the value is true / false?

Joi.boolean().strict() ?

Ah, thanks!
