      # * <tt>on</tt> - Specifies when this validation is active
      #   (<tt>:create</tt> or <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.
      #
      # If you pass any additional configuration options, they will be passed
      # to the class and available as <tt>options</tt>:
