BinaryWriter implements the Protobuf wire encoding. Its methods
int32,uint32,float,fixed32,sfixed32, andsint32validate that the numbers passed in meet the constraint of the numeric type. For example, auint32- an unsigned 32-bit integer - must not be negative.The methods accept the TypeScript type
number, but the implementation actually functions correctly if a string is passed, because of ECMAScript's implicit conversion.This PR changes the validation to also accept a string, and covers the correct behavior with tests. The reason for this change is to make the BinaryWriter more useful outside of the protobuf-es runtime.
This PR does not change the method signatures. The intended use is still to pass in a number, the support for string is just for resilience.
