 * Validators are used to decide upon the legality of some input action.
 * For example, a "line edit" widget might be used to input a "glue length".
 * The correct syntax for such a length is "2em + 0.5em". The LengthValidator
 * below will report whether the input text conforms to this syntax.
 *
 * This information is used in LyX primarily to give the user some
 * feedback on the validity of the input data using the "checked_widget"
 * concept. For example, if the data is invalid then the label of
 * a "line edit" widget is changed in colour and the dialog's "Ok"
 * and "Apply" buttons are disabled. See checked_widgets.[Ch] for
 * further details.
