Description
Due to the magic of YAML and dynamic typing it can be difficult to force a field to be of a certain type. For example if you use --set to set foo to "true" "true" will actually become the integer 1. This problem is described more in depth here.
To get around this Helm has a --set-string flag that forces the value that is being set to be a string. We should add support for this as a parameter to the helm builtin.

Research direction
Start by locating the helm builtin and its existing --set parameter handling, then find the related tests if present. Trace how values are passed to Helm and add coverage showing that --set-string preserves string values; done means the builtin accepts and forwards this parameter correctly.
