@class wxValidator
wxValidator is the base class for a family of validator classes that
mediate between a class of control, and application data.
A validator has three major roles:
-# To transfer data from a C++ variable or own storage to and from a
control.
-# To validate data in a control, and show an appropriate error message.
-# To filter events (such as keystrokes), thereby changing the behaviour
of the associated control.
Validators can be plugged into controls dynamically.
To specify a default, "null" validator, use ::wxDefaultValidator.
For more information, please see @ref overview_validator.

All validator classes must implement the Clone() function, which

brushes, it does not make sense to have a reference counting scheme to
do this cloning because all validators should have separate data.
