[TYPO3-mvc] Validation in TCA and extbase

Yep, sure!

You can do this as well. There is a @dontvalidate annotation for this.
It can be used like this: @dontvalidate $argument1 $argument2 $argument3
(to not validate argument 1 - 3)

I think in the long run, validation will only validate _changed_
properties and not all properties (or maybe this will be made configurable).
However, this is not implemented yet, and won't manage to do so until
4.3. So the current solution would be the dontvalidate annotation.

Currently yes. Maybe we can find some clever ways to make the
@validate-annotation-validators available in TCA (but I am really not
sure about this ;) )
