Does this proposal actually offer any improvement over what's available with filter_var/etc and a userland wrapper class? If there are deficiencies in how the existing filters work, maybe work on detailing the issues and then fixing/improving them? That way, all the userland validation currently built around them, needs *possibly* minor changes to make use of new flags/options, as opposed to a completely new API to use.
