 * This class provides methods that add validation cababilities to models.

 * `message` property.  When there is only a single error message, this property is just a string;
 * for example: `Post.validatesPresenceOf('title', { message: 'can not be blank' });`
 *
 * In more complicated cases it can be a set of messages, for each possible error condition; for example:
 * `User.validatesLengthOf('password', { min: 6, max: 20, message: {min: 'too short', max: 'too long'}});`

/**
 * This method performs validation and triggers validation hooks.
 * Before validation the `obj.errors` collection is cleaned.
 * Each validation can add errors to `obj.errors` collection.
 * If collection is not blank, validation failed.
 *
 * NOTE: This method can be called as synchronous only when no asynchronous validation is
 * configured. It's strongly recommended to run all validations as asyncronous.
 *
 * Example: ExpressJS controller - render user if valid, show flash otherwise
 * ```javascript
 * user.isValid(function (valid) {
 *     if (valid) res.render({user: user});
 *     else res.flash('error', 'User is not valid'), console.log(user.errors), res.redirect('/users');
 * });
 * ```
 * Another example:
 * ```javascript
 * user.isValid(function (valid) {
 *     if (!valid) {
 *           console.log(user.errors);
 *         // => hash of errors
 *         // => {
 *         // => username: [errmessage, errmessage, ...],
 *         // => email: ...
 *         // => }
 *     }
 * });
 * ```
 * @callback {Function} callback Called with (valid).
 * @param {Object} data Data to be validated.
 * @param {Object} options Options to be specified upon validation.
 * @returns {Boolean} True if no asynchronous validation is configured and all properties pass validation.
