  # Active Records implement validation by overwriting Base#validate (or the variations, +validate_on_create+ and 
  # +validate_on_update+). Each of these methods can inspect the state of the object, which usually means ensuring
  # that a number of attributes have a certain value (such as not empty, within a given range, matching a certain regular expression).
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  #     protected
  #       def validate
  #         errors.add_on_empty %w( first_name last_name )

  #         unless valid_discount?(membership_discount)
  #           errors.add("membership_discount", "has expired")
  #         end
  #       end
  #
  #       def validate_on_update
  #         errors.add_to_base("No changes have occurred") if unchanged_attributes?
  #       end
  #   end
  #
  #   person = Person.new("first_name" => "David", "phone_number" => "what?")
  #   person.save                         # => false (and doesn't do the save)
  #   person.errors.empty?                # => false
  #   person.count                        # => 2
  #   person.errors.on "last_name"        # => "can't be empty"
  #   person.errors.on "phone_number"     # => "has invalid format"
  #   person.each_full { |msg| puts msg } # => "Last name can't be empty\n" +
  #                                            "Phone number has invalid format"
  #
  #   person.attributes = { "last_name" => "Heinemeier", "phone_number" => "555-555" }
  #   person.save # => true (and person is now saved in the database)
  #
  # An +Errors+ object is automatically created for every Active Record.
