This module has validators used by API endpoints <= 2.0 to describe
acceptable parameters.
We aim to make this module obsolete by using Marshmallow.
Marshmallow is a better format to describe valid data.
There is some actual logic in here, which we still need. It can usually be ported to Marshmallow validators.
