__Note that, for performance reasons (preventing stacktrace collection), the returned object does not *actually* inherit from `Error`!__ This should not affect its correct functioning, considering that the stacktraces of individual validators are not used in Validatem, and `ValidationError`s should never be thrown outside of a validator context anyway.
__Unless you are implementing a parser and using virtual properties, you probably do not need to specify the `path` property.__ Combinators like `arrayOf` will insert their path segments after-the-fact by themselves, your validator does not need to do this.
