It makes sense to coerce from more general -> more specific data types. eg. string -> int, etc. But coercing the other way is problematic in the case of chaining because the more general type will swallow the specific type. eg. Setting `false` on type: [‘string’, ‘boolean’] will coerce the boolean to a string, and will never allow the value to be a boolean.
Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on atom-shell, and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration.
