Why remove it? I like the ability to check for integers, etc. Actually,
I was pondering to submit the rules I need to write, at some point.
Think email, IP address, etc.
Fun fact: I recently sent out a wishlist item, asking for a mandatory
alongside the current regexp approach. "May be empty or must match
foo" is a lot more flexible than "Must match foo"
