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

[Gerhard Petracek]

someone >could< argue that users should just use constraints at getter
methods, if they really want to ensure a valid state at every access of a
property.
without @ValidateOnCall that's an issue in case of implicit grouping -
there you only have methods...
