Yes, I was thinking about both of those options. I think perhaps my  
expectations of what the validator should do are probably slightly  
different to what DFV aims for; I want my validator to return the  
parameters ready for execution, or an error if one of the required  
parameters is off. There is plenty of scope for customising D::FV to  
do that without too much extra effort, though.
