Constraint Targets
------------------

Constraints can be applied to a class property (e.g. ``name``) or a public
getter method (e.g. ``getFullName``). The first is the most common and easy
to use, but the second allows you to specify more complex validation rules.
Constraints can be applied to a class property (e.g. ``name``), a public
getter method (e.g. ``getFullName``) or an entire class. Property constraints
are the most common and easy to use. Getter constraints allow you to specify
more complex validation rules. Finally, class constraints are intended
for scenarios where you want to validate a class as a whole.
