Design mistake --- Closing --- Extended handling of "fail-unknown-thing" (fut) with hooks allowing this general code to ask for custom messaging. Directly from the parameter, indirectly from the validation type. Whose "validate" method is where "fail-unknown-thing" got called from. Which means that we have a possible alternative solution which does not go through such a convoluted circle: New convenience function, an extension of "fail-unknown-thing" which simply takes the custom message as a parameter. And we can write more functions of this type then, which take ranges, dicts, etc. and operate on these for rendering, or a possible user-choice to fix the bad value. Saving the current state before making a decision --- Trunk went forward with the alternate approach, see [3305575764]. Closed-Leaf check-in: 86ce9388c1 user: andreask tags: x-fut-acceptable
