As a JS dev, this actually offends me. I wouldn't expect a specialised package to silently convert strings to numbers. I think is-odd and friends are the aftermath of the microlibrary craze that followed the popularity of "toolbelt" libraries like jquery, underscore and lodash (which featured some equally inane methods but bundled them along with a load of far more complex helpers you wouldn't want to implement and maintain yourself).
