OK, I think I understand where you are coming from. In the end, there will
be more functions for validation. Those which take in a passed in object,
like CONFIG_GET() -> obj, EDIT -> obj, VALIDATE_CONFIG(obj). Those functions
will be user driven, ie. __**Validate this thing I gave you__**.
These functions are __**Validate everything the system knows about**. And
are born out of the introduction of possible errors through language changes in
already deployed stellar rules.
That is why we need discovery. The "job" of this function at the moment is
to find everything and make sure it is still OK.
