/**
 * A trait that provides methods for building and
 * interacting with Validators.
 *
 * This trait is useful when building ORM like features where
 * the implementing class wants to build and customize a variety
 * of validator instances.
 *
 * This trait expects that classes including it define two constants:
 *
 * - `DEFAULT_VALIDATOR` - The default validator name.
 * - `VALIDATOR_PROVIDER_NAME ` - The provider name the including class is assigned
 *   in validators.
 *
 * If the including class also implements events the `Model.buildValidator` event
 * will be triggered when validators are created.

    /**
     * Returns the validation rules tagged with $name. It is possible to have
     * multiple different named validation sets, this is useful when you need
     * to use varying rules when saving from different routines in your system.
     *
     * There are two different ways of creating and naming validation sets: by
     * creating a new method inside your own Table subclass, or by building
     * the validator object yourself and storing it using this method.
     *
     * For example, if you wish to create a validation set called 'forSubscription',
     * you will need to create a method in your Table subclass as follows:
     *
     * ```
     * public function validationForSubscription($validator)
     * {
     *  return $validator
     *  ->add('email', 'valid-email', ['rule' => 'email'])
     *  ->add('password', 'valid', ['rule' => 'notBlank'])
     *  ->requirePresence('username');
     * }
     * ```
     *
     * Otherwise, you can build the object by yourself and store it in the Table object:
     *
     * ```
     * $validator = new \Cake\Validation\Validator($table);
     * $validator
     *  ->add('email', 'valid-email', ['rule' => 'email'])
     *  ->add('password', 'valid', ['rule' => 'notBlank'])
     *  ->allowEmpty('bio');
     * $table->validator('forSubscription', $validator);
     * ```
     *
     * You can implement the method in `validationDefault` in your Table subclass
     * should you wish to have a validation set that applies in cases where no other
     * set is specified.
     *
     * @param string $name the name of the validation set to return
     * @param \Cake\Validation\Validator|null $validator The validator instance to store,
     *   use null to get a validator.
     * @return \Cake\Validation\Validator
