Describe the bug
I have a type declaration type Foo string and trying to unmarshal a yaml int value into it.
When the decoder tries to set the value it panics.

panic: reflect.Set: value of type string is not assignable to type Foo

It works fine if the value is a string and not the type def of Foo.

Expected behavior
Unmarshaling should work the same for string and type xxx string
