I do think the current filter module is user unfriendly and it would be great to have something better. A couple of quick thoughts based on your README: - The use of nested arrays keeps things simple in one sense, but the deep nesting can get confusing. I wonder if a ValidationRule class would make the distinction between parameters and references to existing rules clearer. This would also give you a natural home for validating the validation rules themselves (probably by throwing an exception in the constructor). - A minor point, but most style guides would suggest function names should be verbs, not adjectives, so "validate()" rather than "valid()". - Is there a use case for valid_id() or is it a temporary debugging thing that won't be in the final version? In general, I like the idea, but would have to play around a bit to see if it felt easy to use in real world situations. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
