Hi,
[This is an-only-validate-thread-starter, as I can't email all of it's developers
One by one, then I decided to post it to .dev, although it's a validate issue,
But would be nice to get comments from other developers, especially ones who are
Maintaining packages with plug-ins]

We got some bug-reports which users ask us to add new chars to
VALIDATE_ALPHA_LOWER and VALIDATE_ALPHA_UPPER[1][2], well as it's a valid request
But the current structure of Validate is not very happy with such requests.

I thought the best solution could be moving VALIDATE_ALPHA_LOWER and UPPER from 
two global constants to two class attributes which could be overwritten by locales.
But it's not the best ATM because:
I) We've some locales, which are not depended on main Validate, so they'll never
Instantiate it.
II) ATM We've some chars from languages which doesn't have a locale in Validate.

The other way could be writing a Unicode (or simpler a UTF-8) plug-in for Validate
Which handles such stuff.

Ideas? Blames?

P.S: We're going to release the first stable of Validate, soon after fixing this
Issue and filling the docs gap, as it's functioning well in validating other stuff.
