this could be done, but as you said, it would create overhead. For a
uniqe check, one database roundtrip is required. Depending on how fast
you insert data this will kill performance.
I vote for making this 'auto validator generator' despite this.
But, we have to provide a way to go around the validators then. I don't
remember exactly if .save! will do this...
Feel the love
