Just a quick clarification: the Zend_Validate_Builder and Zend_Filter_Builder
code is ready to be used. Just check the code out from the Laboratory and put it
to work. If anyone does use it, I would like to hear of any problems or concerns.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response Bill. I suspected I might be on an edge case with
this but didn't know for sure. I'll just go with what I've done then and see
what happens with the proposal Bryce is developing.

I considered making a more feature-rich wildcard syntax in
Zend_Filter_Input, and I saw what Bryce did in his Zend_Validate_Builder
solution. But I decided to favor simplicity.
One of the goals of Zend Framework from the beginning was explicitly
_not_ to solve all possible use cases, but to solve 80% of the use cases
and so make the usage simple. Where possible, classes should be
extensible to allow people to make their own solutions that solve their
custom cases. But in this case, I do understand that Zend_Filter_Input
doesn't support this kind of extensibility.
