 Package validator implements value validations for structs and individual fields based on tags.
 
 It has the following **unique** features:
 
--   Cross Field and Cross Struct validations.  
+-   Cross Field and Cross Struct validations by using validation tags or custom validators.  
 -   Slice, Array and Map diving, which allows any or all levels of a multidimensional field to be validated.  
 -   Handles type interface by determining it's underlying type prior to validation.
 -   Handles custom field types such as sql driver Valuer see [Valuer](https://golang.org/src/database/sql/driver/types.go?s=1210:1293#L29)

-###### Run on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
-NOTE: allocations for structs are up from v5, however ns/op for parallel operations are way down.
-It was a decicion not to cache struct info because although it reduced allocation to v5 levels, it
-hurt parallel performance too much.
