This adds a new
--records-loose
flag and changes the default behaviorto
--records-strict
The rationale for this change is so that this default behavior helps
more when users are still experimenting with the appropriate type to
use to decode a large and messy YAML file.
For example, suppose a user is trying to translate the following YAML
to Dhall:
... and they start with a empty Dhall type which they plan to fix in
response to error messages. They'd get a surprising success:
... because the old default behavior is to ignore extra fields in the
YAML. However, if we're strict by default then users don't have to
apply the
--records-strict
flag to get feedback on what they needto change.
