Well, generaly I don't wait for the db to throw a duplication error to warn
the user that he needs to pick up another username. But of course, if the
form is 100% valid I still need to take care about his username at the db
layer.

Another example: I need to check if a file exists, send a request to a rest
server to check the file metadata and convert a markdown field to HTML
using the GitHub's API, that would be a hell of a process that I can't
encapsulate inside all those validation modules mentioned here without
spliting the process a couple of times.

That's the main idea about the validation/sanitization module that I'm
building: async from ground up.
