Custom Validators

Extension of the validators from the attrs library, these allow the use of type checking the constituents of a collection.

Example attrs validator and the problem this is a solution to*:

possible: list = attr.ib(validator=[instance_of(list)])
not_possible: List[int] = attr.ib(validator=[instance_of(List[int])])

This means that we can't validate the members of a collection. However, with the custom validators we can do this:

now_possible: Collection = attr.ib(validator=[validate_generic_of_type(Collection, float)])

Meaning we can pass in any object that implements the following dunder methods [__contains__, __iter__, __len__] AND validate that each member of the collection is a float. This is possible for other types too.

*on closer inspection (ironic given this repo's name) of the attrs API reference this is a solved problem with deep_iterable() and deep_mapping(). attrs: 2, me: 0
