+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; This library offers two functions that perform schema validation.
+;; Use this is your Elisp packages to provide very informative error
+;; messages when your users accidentally misconfigure a variable.
+;; For instance, if everything is fine, these do the same thing:
+;;
+;; 1. (validate-variable 'cider-known-endpoints)
+;; 2. cider-known-endpoints
+;;
+;; However, if the user has misconfigured this variable, option
+;; 1. will immediately give them an informative error message, while
+;; option 2. won't say anything and will lead to confusing errors down
+;; the line.
+;;
+;; The format and language of the schemas is the same one used in the
+;; `:type' property of a `defcustom'.
+;;
+;; See: (info "(elisp) Customization Types")
+;;
+;; Both functions throw a `user-error' if the value in question
+;; doesn't match the schema, and return the value itself if it
+;; matches. The function `validate-variable' verifies whether the value of a
+;; custom variable matches its custom-type, while `validate-value' checks an
+;; arbitrary value against an arbitrary schema.
+;;
+;; Missing features: `:inline', `plist', `coding-system', `color',
+;; `hook', `restricted-sexp'.
