Defaulted is not coerced through validate
Take the following code snippet:
const [err, data] = validate({str: 'str'}, object({str: string(), def: defaulted(string(), '')}));
console.log(err);
console.log(data);
The previous code will have this error message in the err object: StructError: At path: def -- Expected a string, but received: undefined.
Now take this code snippet instead:
create({str: 'str'}, object({str: string(), def: defaulted(string(), '')}));
This code works perfectly.
According to the tsdoc included with validate Validate a value against a struct, returning an error if invalid, or the value (with potential coercion) if valid., the value should still be coerced by defaulted, just like create.
Found out there is an optional parameter for coerce on validate. I will leave this open, since I think the doc comment on validate is misleading. It should be more clear that it only coerces if the coerce parameter is set to true.
