Md-datepicker touchUi is always treated as if touchUi is set to true

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Bug

What is the expected behavior?

when touchUi="true" the md-datepicker will be opened in touchscreen mode, but when touchUi="false", md-datepicker will be opened as a popup under the input

What is the current behavior?

even when touchUi="false" md-datepicker opens in touchscreen mode

What are the steps to reproduce?

Providing a Plunker (or similar) is the best way to get the team to see your issue.
Plunker template: http://plnkr.co/edit/XcGBezjJ27qYTRdvQt0v?p=preview (I changed an existing plunker with md-datepicker I found and added the touchUi="false".)

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

I want to be able use a boolean 'showInTouchMode' like this: [touchUi]="showInTouchMode".

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

I use in my package.json among others:
"@angular/common": "4.3.1",
"@angular/cdk": "2.0.0-beta.8",
"@angular/material": "2.0.0-beta.8",
"typescript": "2.4.1"

Is there anything else we should know?

Not about this point, but I would really appreciate more examples in the documentation at material.angular.io. How exactly should I customize md-datepicker with the parse and display formats? And How exactly should I localize labels and messages? For example, how should a 'MY_DATE_FORMATS' file look?

Remember the brackets

@willshowell Although you're correct, I'm just curious as why only this specific @Input doesn't have a getter and setter (calling coerceBooleanProperty method).

[riankol]

Thanks! It works indeed with the brackets!

[willshowell]

@rafaelss95 Fair question - maybe raise a separate issue about that be included in a library-wide audit? IMO coerceBooleanProperty teaches bad habits, but I'm sure there is a valid reason behind it
