symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Validator/PropertyMetadataInterface.php
Bernhard Schussek efe42cbb1f [Validator] Refactored the GraphWalker into an implementation of the Visitor design pattern.
With this refactoring comes a decoupling of the validator from the structure of
the underlying metadata. This way it is possible for Drupal to use the validator
for validating their Entity API by using their own metadata layer, which is not
modeled as classes and properties/getter methods.
