Expand Validate to include more specific, human readable validation for 
commonly validated parameter values (so isTrue() isn't needed as often). 
Include new Validate methods:

matchesPattern(String string, String pattern)
throws an IllegalArgumentException stating ("The string " + string + " does not 
match the pattern "  + pattern) when the provided string does not match the 
regular expression pattern.

matchesPattern(String string, String pattern, String message)
throws an IllegalArgumentException stating (message + string) when the provided 
string does not match the regular expression pattern.

matchesPattern(String string, Pattern pattern)
throws an IllegalArgumentException stating ("The string " + string + " does not 
match the pattern "  + pattern) when the provided string does not match the 
regular expression pattern.

matchesPattern(String string, Pattern pattern, String message)
throws an IllegalArgumentException stating (message + string) when the provided 
string does not match the regular expression pattern.

inclusiveBetween(Comparable<T> start, Comparable<T> end, Comparable<T> value)
throws an IllegalArgumentException stating ("The value " + value + " is not in 
the specified inclusive range of " + start + " to " + end) when the provided 
value does not fall between the two comparable values (inclusive).

inclusiveBetween(Comparable<T> start, Comparable<T> end, Comparable<T> value, 
String message)
throws an IllegalArgumentException stating (message + value) when the provided 
value does not fall between the two comparable values (inclusive).

exclusiveBetween(Comparable<T> start, Comparable<T> end, Comparable<T> value)
throws an IllegalArgumentException stating ("The value " + value + " is not in 
the specified exclusive range of " + start + " to " + end) when the provided 
value does not fall between the two comparable values (exclusive).

exclusiveBetween(Comparable<T> start, Comparable<T> end, Comparable<T> value, 
String message)
throws an IllegalArgumentException stating (message + value) when the provided 
value does not fall between the two comparable values (exclusive).
