/**
* A group defines a subset of constraints. Instead of
* validating all constraints for a given object graph,
* only a subset is validated depending on the group targeted.
*
* Each constraint declaration defines the list of groups it belongs to.
* If no group is explicitly declared, a constraint belongs to the Default group.
*
* When applying validation, the list of target group is passed along.
* If no group is explicitly passed along, the Default group is used.
