[Bug] is-even is misleading #2

After I root caused #1 I realized that there's some unintuitive behavior in the way the tool is presented.

When I first started using the tool I was very surprised to find that a call to is-even is not checking whether {value} === "even" but instead operates entirely in the space is mathematical parity.

Perhaps the server should be renamed to is-even-number or perhaps you could rename the current tool to is-even-number and the is-even tool could be changed to better reflect its behavior?

I'll be completely open and honest with you here – this never once crossed my mind

Now that you mention it though it's so obvious that of course someone may want to check the evenness of a string, not just a number.

Idea: We expand the scope of the tool to handle both cases.

Hey is the word even even?
{ "type": "string", "word": "even" } -> { "isEven": true, "confidence": 0.85 }
Yes, the word even is even.

Hey is 44 even?
{ "type": "number", "number": 44 } -> { "isEven": false, "confidence": 0.68 }
No, the number 44 is not even.

We'd need to establish consensus for this major design change, though. May discuss at the next board meeting.
