      # Encapsulates the pattern of wanting to validate a password or email address field with a confirmation. Example:
      #
      #   Model:
      #     class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #       validates_confirmation_of :user_name, :password
      #       validates_confirmation_of :email_address, :message => "should match confirmation"
      #     end
      #
      #   View:
      #     <%= password_field "person", "password" %>
      #     <%= password_field "person", "password_confirmation" %>
      #
      # The added +password_confirmation+ attribute is virtual; it exists only as an in-memory attribute for validating the password.
      # To achieve this, the validation adds accessors to the model for the confirmation attribute. NOTE: This check is performed
      # only if +password_confirmation+ is not +nil+, and by default only on save. To require confirmation, make sure to add a presence
      # check for the confirmation attribute:
      #
      #   validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if => :password_changed?
      #
      # Configuration options:
      # * <tt>:message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "doesn't match confirmation")
      # * <tt>:on</tt> - Specifies when this validation is active (default is <tt>:save</tt>, other options <tt>:create</tt>, <tt>:update</tt>)
      # * <tt>:if</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   occur (e.g. <tt>:if => :allow_validation</tt>, or <tt>:if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }</tt>).  The
      #   method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
      # * <tt>:unless</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   not occur (e.g. <tt>:unless => :skip_validation</tt>, or <tt>:unless => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }</tt>).  The
      #   method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
