[feature-request] Parsing a number in query

[cdoublev]

Hello,

I would like to sugget parsing a Number in the value of a query parameter used to set options of a loader.

 if (specialValues.hasOwnProperty(value)) {
     value = specialValues[value];
- }
+ } else if (/^\d$/.test(value) {
+     value = Number(value)
+ }

loader-utils/lib/parseQuery.js

Line 39 in d9f4e23

if (specialValues.hasOwnProperty(value)) {

Is there a reason to parse a Boolean but not a Number? Performances?

Eg. css-loader?importLoaders=true works but not css-loader?importLoaders=1.

Note that having css-loader?importLoaders=true not throwing an error is also confusing, since the css-loader doc states that only a Number is expected. Please feel free to ask me to create a new issue in the related repository.

Sorry, this utils only for compatibility with webpack@4, for webpack@5 it was deprecated, because getOptions built-in webpack@5, so we don't accept features

Anyway this we should solve it on css-loader side

Using parseInt, feel free to open an issue

Don't you think this concerns schema-utils? Or is it also deprecated?

@cdoublev we should allow importLoaders to be string and use parseInt to get value
