Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 A question here is what should happen in the following case:

 `rest_validate_value_from_schema( '15.5', [ 'type' => ['integer',
 'string'] ] );`

 Right now this passes validation because `string` is an accepted value.
 Part of me wonders if we should reject it because it is a numeric string
 which could be cast to a real `float` type. And then be rejected because
 it isn't an integer. But the more that I think about it, I think adding
 that level of complexity to the juggling system probably wouldn't be worth
 it and might lead to more weird behavior.
