Right now, you can't, as you noted below, its not geared towards GET at
this moment.

Where would this redirect to if the count isn't an int?

No, that's correct. It is currently geared to POST variables. Though I
see no issue with adapting it to handle GET variables as well. If it
was to work on GET variables, I'd assume that it would give you the new
coerced dict inside the action under:
self.validation_results
Or something like that, as right now a validated POST is under
self.form_results. Having it pass in the variable in the function def
is a little outside the normal operating scope of a Pylons controller,
as the variables in the function come from Route arguments, not
GET/POST params.
Any ideas on what you'd like usage of it to look like, and how/where
should it fail over to should the validation fail?
HTH,
