No I don't really understand your point, because your rule unnecessarily
consists of two parts.
I like to not make it possible to have 'no' pattern, because then i must check
for that too.
So, the nice and simple line:
dataType.getPattern().matcher("\n").matches())
must become something annnoyingly more complex with if (pattern != null
&& pattern.matcher ...).
That is prone to NPE, and unnecessary because a pattern 'no pattern'
exists (.*).
