i noticed when writing commands i always keep doing

```php
$io = new SymfonyStyle($input, $output);
$answer = $io->ask('...', null, function ($value) { return $value; });

// instead of just
$answer = $io->ask('...');
```

only to bypass a built-in validation, of which im not sure why it's there. Note the base question helper doesnt make this assumption...
