Description Chris Dumez 2016-04-19 19:27:30 PDT 
We currently have to explicitly use [StrictTypeChecking] in order to get standard behavior. Of course, every one forget. We need to flip it so [StrictTypeChecking] becomes the default and we can use a [LegacyTreatWrongTypeAsNull] attribute for existing IDL code.

Relevant spec:
