Unnamed Validator

If you are reading this, then I probably haven't put enough effort into this module.

That being said, naming things isn't my strong point, so perhaps it'll stick.

(Either that, or you are stalking my commit history. Please stop, you likely won't find anything other than distressingly bad code.)

Motivation

I am fed up of input validation. But even more, I am fed up of bad input validation. The kind of module which kicks out such horrid error messages that you need another module just to interpret them.

Too often a project motivation is killed while off attempting the early steps of checking input and elegantly returning validation errors. Frequently RESTful services do not provide meaningful errors and this is not good enough. No more, I say.

Aim

The aim of this is to produce an input validator which provides meaningful error messages which can even be passed back up to the user.
