== Examples

Returns the kind of the validator.

def initialize(options)

Accepts options that will be made available through the +options+ reader.
def initialize(options)
  @options = options.freeze
end

def kind

Return the kind for this validator.
def kind

to the records +errors+ array where necessary.
Override this method in subclasses with validation logic, adding errors
