Yes, that's kind of implicit in my description. Sorry, should have mentioned it. The problem is not just the field we are checking currently, though. It is also the other fields that may be used for auxiliary checks (such as "required if other field empty"). I am trying to get a feel for what people want to do in general, without trying to delve too deep into the implementation yet. In any case, looks like this might have to wait until after magic-removal is merged. Except for you and I, there have been no other responses. People are busy; it can wait. Thanks for your thinking, anyway. It's helpful.
