Extend describe() for type

[lamchakchan]

For the API object.type(). I'm extending the meta data storage of the constructor within the schema to be placed in options. Also extending any.describe() to project it to a new item schema within the rules array. This will help facilitate an object generation of the exact type specified by this API contract. Problem right now is that the type is translated to a name of type String and the ability to reproduce via Object.create() is lost since there is no way to cast it back to the original reference. Support is being added within felicity

Let me know if there is a better way of implementing this.

Using the Joi API

Joi.object().type(RegExp);

Storage within the schema

{
    _test: [{
        name: 'type',
        arg: 'RegExp',
        options: {
            ctor: [Function RegExp]  //This is new
        }
    }]
}

Within the Transform of any.describe()

{
    rules: [{
        name: 'type',
        arg: 'RegExp',
        ctor: [Function RegExp] //This is new
    }]
}

felicity looks really cool 👍

Thank you!

This is not the place to put it, the 2nd argument of _test holds the describe data.

Thank you @Marsup for reviewing this so quickly. I have some follow up questions.

I want to clarify that 2nd argument of _test currently is being passed name [String]. I can do one of 2 things. Replace that usage of name with the value of ctor. Or make it so that the second argument is an object containing both like this:

{
   name : <name value>,
   ctor : [Function <type>]
}

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

[Marsup]

The latter should be fine.

Just to follow up, I checked in new changes based on the recommendation of changes.

Thanks.
