When we read objects from the API, we want to ensure the type matches either the type class that the client is aware of, or whatever the complexType property on the object tells us. In some cases, the API returns a type for a property that is not the same or a subtype of the type defined by the API. The API should not do this, however the previous behavior was to throw an exception in these cases, which is quite annoying. Instead, we will now coerce the object we get into the type that the definition says. If properties are missing, they will remain unset, and any extra properties will be added to the unknown properties.
