 -   Alias validation tags, which allows for mapping of several validations to a single tag for easier defining of validations on structs
 -   Extraction of custom defined Field Name e.g. can specify to extract the JSON name while validating and have it available in the resulting FieldError
 -   Customizable i18n aware error messages.
