/**
* This class allows you to chain validator readers. This way you can read
* validation data from more than one source.
*
* For example, you could read validation meta data from properties files, and
* annotation.
*
* The last one configured in the chain wins if you have the same type.
*
* You can have a required validation rule
* in a properties file and a regex in an annotation for the same property and both
* applied. Thus, it also merges as long as they are different types.
