[erlang-questions] [ANN] sheriff 0.2: parse transform for type-based data validation

[Loïc Hoguin]

Right, forgot about that. I also want pre-defined functions for 
validating things like emails, URLs and others that string() or binary() 
types can't define. But I'm not sure this should go in sheriff proper, 
it could very well just be another library, perhaps generated based on 
RFCs or something.
