What are thoughts here?
Should all adapters be lenient or not lenient?
I suppose if you want only certain adapters to be lenient, you can easily make your own factory.
 Definitely not be default

 I think I'd do an asLenient() that returned a new lenient factory from an
existing one.

 Right, not by default, but it will be a factory that makes all adapters lenient. I'm not sure if that's truly useful, but perhaps.

This doesn't need to exist. Just call the constructor.
 I would just delete this `if`. It'll never happen and even if it does it's not that big of a deal to create a new instance.

MoshiConverterFactory should have a lenient option
