More expressive error messsage possible for "Expected string, received string"

Thanks for zod, I love it!

Example:

const { z } = require("zod");
const Special = z.literal("wat");
console.log(Special.safeParse("nah").error.issues[0].message);

which outputs Expected string, received string

Wouldn’t Expected "wat", received "nah" be more preferable? I suppose there is some nuance and edge cases where this isn’t feasible?

For me #1052 is not a sufficient fix, I’d like to know the exact value mismatch. I had an idea over in my PR for a fix that would address it for me:

Makes sense, thanks for the info, I can see how not having this in is a better security default. That said, for cases where it matters less like mine, I was thinking of turning errorIncludesInputData once and if #851 lands. Would you be open to a PR that builds on that to show literal values if that flag is set?

That said, ofc I’d leave it to the maintainers to close this issue if that feels sufficiently adressed / not important / out of scope.

It should be easy, go for it imo : )
