Trait string_intern::Validator

pub trait Validator {
    type Err: Error;
    fn validate_symbol(&str) -> Result<(), Self::Err>;

    fn display(value: &Symbol<Self>, fmt: &mut Formatter) -> Result { ... }
}

This is validator trait you should implement for your own symbols

In reality this trait serves three purposes:

1. Validates that atom contains only value you expect it to contain
2. Identifies the type i.e. type S1 = Symbol<V1> and type S2 = Symbol<V2> are different and incompatible types
3. Allows to override Display trait for your own symbol
