Description:
------------
Through the documentation and a few quick looks through the source code there doesn't seem to be a way to validate a heir select without much manual processing.

I figured this was a rule that would be nice to add in since it will add better security to these heir selects. It does not check if everything was entered or required because that should be handled in a different step.

Test script:
---------------
function heir_key_exists($input, $opts) {
if (empty($input)) return false;
if (empty($opts)) return false;
$c = count($input);
$opts = $opts[$c-1];

for($i=0;$i<$c;$i++) {
if (!array_key_exists($input[$i], $opts)) return false;
$opts = $opts[$input[$i]];
}
return true;
}

Expected result:
----------------
This takes the input and validates that all of the keys in fact do exist by running up the array 1 by 1 utilizing array_key_exists.

Actual result:
--------------
There is no current rule to make this simple.
