I was talking about complexity of supporting related fields e.g. with
lookups `user_attributes=('profile__description', 'username')`. On the
other hand adding `get_user_attribute()` to
`UserAttributeSimilarityValidator` is misleading, validators are not a
place for such hooks, which are rather workarounds for a specific
situation. `get_user_attribute()` would be useful but for a quite niche
scenario i.e. when you have a user model with custom profile but you
cannot control user properties.
Finally, `UserAttributeSimilarityValidator` is a small validator, you can
always create a custom implementation in your code.
