[bv-dev] Should getters be considered methods during validation

[Emmanuel Bernard]

I tried to summarize all the discussions at http://beanvalidation.org/proposals/BVAL-327/

While I wish we could go the easy way and consider getters as methods, I
really really fear that we would create a time bomb.

I also polled people at Devoxx trying to explain the pros and cons
and an overwhelming majority of people wanted to not consider getters
as regular constrained methods.
