Strict Schema Validation should be enabled by default

See original GitHub issue

To me, it goes against the zen of Python that validation fails silently when the strict parameter is not set to True. Why is it false by default? Shouldn’t it be True by default?

In our project we just use our own base class for all schemas:

class Schema(marshmallow.Schema):
    def __init__(self, strict=True, **kwargs):
        super(Schema, self).__init__(strict=strict, **kwargs)

After giving this some thought, I am leaning towards making schemas strict by default.

If anyone has objections, speak now or forever hold your peace. =)
