Description:
------------
It would be helpful if there were some way to tell the reason a value/object has failed to validate. For example; a number was above the maximum allowed, or a string was shorter than the minimum length allowed.

That way, when validating user-supplied data, more helpful feedback can be given to the user, than simply letting them know their data was invalid.

Although most of the functions only do one thing the reasons for faliure may be manifold.

However, it's up to you of course. :-) Thank you very much for considering my suggestion and for responding.
