+     * @name angular.validator
+     * @namespace Namespace for all filters.
+     * @description
+     * # Overview
+     * Validators are a standard way to check the user input against a specific criteria. For 
+     * example, you might need to check that an input field contains a well-formed phone number.
+     * 
+     * # Syntax
+     * Attach a validator on user input widgets using the `ng:validate` attribute.
+     * 
+     * <WIKI:SOURCE>
+     *    Change me: &lt;input type="text" name="number" ng:validate="integer" value="123"&gt;
+     * </WIKI:SOURCE>
+     * 
+     * # Writing your own Validators
+     * Writing your own validator is easy. To make a function available as a 
+     * validator, just define the JavaScript function on the `angular.validator` 
+     * object. <angular/> passes in the input to validate as the first argument 
+     * to your function. Any additional validator arguments are passed in as 
+     * additional arguments to your function.
+     * 
+     * You can use these variables in the function:
+     *
+     * * `this` — The current scope.
+     * * `this.$element` — The DOM element containing the binding. This allows the filter to manipulate
+     *   the DOM in addition to transforming the input.
+     *   
+     * In this example we have written a upsTrackingNo validator. 
+     * It marks the input text "valid" only when the user enters a well-formed 
+     * UPS tracking number.
+     * 
+     * <pre>
+     * angular.validator('upsTrackingNo', function(input, format) {
+     *  var regexp = new RegExp("^" + format.replace(/9/g, '\\d') + "$");
+     *  return input.match(regexp) ? "" : "The format must match " + format;
+     * });
+     * </pre>
+     * 
+     * @example
+     * <script>
+     *  angular.validator('upsTrackingNo', function(input, format) {
+     *    var regexp = new RegExp("^" + format.replace(/9/g, '\\d') + "$");
+     *    return input.match(regexp)?"":"The format must match " + format;
+     *  });
+     * </script>
+     * <input type="text" name="trackNo" size="40"
+     *       ng:validate="upsTrackingNo:'1Z 999 999 99 9999 999 9'" 
+     *       value="1Z 123 456 78 9012 345 6"/>
