#### What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?
Validating and parsing a value from a string to a number. Specifically, the value "873.19999999999993".
The result of the validator is that the field value is "unsafe". We have been able to work around this issue by using the unsafe() flag, however the documentation for the unsafe() flag notes that it is to be used to work around numbers that are outside of the Min/Max JavaScript Number range (which this number is not).
```js
const schema = Joi.object({
value: Joi.number().positive().optional(),
});
const submission = {
value: '873.19999999999993',
};
const result = schema.validate(submission);
expect(result.error).toBeUndefined();
```
#### What was the result you got?
```js
Received: [ValidationError: "value" must be a safe number]
```
#### What result did you expect?
The test to pass and parse the number as a valid/safe number
