      # Adds a validation method or block to the class. This is useful when
      # overriding the +validate+ instance method becomes too unwieldly and
      # you're looking for more descriptive declaration of your validations.
      #
      # This can be done with a symbol pointing to a method:
      #
      #   class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     validate :must_be_friends
      #
      #     def must_be_friends
      #       errors.add_to_base("Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee)
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      # Or with a block which is passed the current record to be validated:
      #
      #   class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     validate do |comment|
      #       comment.must_be_friends
      #     end
      #
      #     def must_be_friends
      #       errors.add_to_base("Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee)
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      # This usage applies to +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update as well+.

      # Validates each attribute against a block.
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     validates_each :first_name, :last_name do |record, attr, value|

      # * <tt>:on</tt> - Specifies when this validation is active (default is <tt>:save</tt>, other options <tt>:create</tt>, <tt>:update</tt>).
      # * <tt>:allow_nil</tt> - Skip validation if attribute is +nil+.
      # * <tt>:allow_blank</tt> - Skip validation if attribute is blank.
      # * <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.
