module Control.Validation
-- Main purpose of this module is verifying programmer's assumptions about
-- user input. On one hand we want to write precisely typed programs, including
-- assumptions about input expressed in types and prove correctness of these
-- programs. On the other we get an unstructured user input as a string or even
-- a raw sequence of bytes.
-- This module intends to provide a framework for verifying our assumptions
-- about user input and constructing proofs that input is indeed valid or
-- failing early with a nice error message if it isn't.

||| Validators in this module come in two flavours: Structural Validators and
