Proposal - export (or move to a separate module) the internal objects\parameters validation mechanism that used by the validator middleware

This will make it usable by other projects as well. For example, it will be possible to add client side validation in the awesome swagger-js-codegen project :)

I actually think this stuff will be going away soon. If you look at #135, you'll see I'm already in the process of reviewing the internal/manual validation stuff because it's basically a subset of what you'd get with real JSON Schema validation. I'm going to close this but do keep an eye out for #135 and what we do with it. Whatever I do, I'll expose it.

Also, if you wanted to use it right now, you can do something like this:

var validators = require('swagger-tools/lib/validators');

validators.validateSchemaConstraints('2.0', someSchema, somePath, someValue);

So just to summarize: You should be able to use this code already but it might change soon as a result of #135. This is not an officially exposed API so if #135 changes it, your code might need to be updated in the future. Also, #135 may change how much of this actually implemented in swagger-tools but the same concepts will happen because I use this to validate default values at minimum.

Cool thanks !
