#### What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?
Trying to build Joi object from JSON specification which contains examples. When example is set to an object which contains property `type` - build process fails with an exception.
```js
// succeeds
Joi.build({
type: 'object',
examples: [ { name: 'some-type' } ],
keys: { name: { type: 'string' } }
});
// fails with TypeError: this.joi[desc.type] is not a function
Joi.build({
type: 'object',
examples: [ { type: 'some-type' } ],
keys: { type: { type: 'string' } }
});
```
Failing example using .describe()
```js
Joi.build(
Joi.object({
type: J.string(),
}).example({
type: 'some-type',
}).describe(),
);
```
#### What was the result you got?
the error was thrown
```
TypeError: this.joi[desc.type] is not a function
