When you use Gson.fromJson(json, type), it parses in lenient mode. Changing 
this would break backwards compatibility.

You can work around this by calling Gson.getAdapter(type).fromJson(json) which 
will do a strict parse.

In such case it would be nice to have possibility to change lenient/strict 
parse mode(by default let it be lenient mode). It looks not really good to hide 
information about invalid JSON.
