+Resurrect Type Validators
+-------------------------
+
+This half-implemented feature was removed in
+https://reviews.llvm.org/D71310 but the general idea might still be
+useful: Type Validators look at a ValueObject, and make sure that
+there is nothing semantically wrong with the object's contents to
+easily catch corrupted data.
