 * Marker interface for vetoing constraint.

 * Vetoing constraints are those which might return 'true' from validateWithVetoing method to prevent any additional
 * validation of the property. These constraints are proceeded before any other constraints, and validation continues
 * only if no one of vetoing constraint hadn't vetoed.
