because it allows jsr330 support without the need to add a new method to ValidatorContext
as well as a new config entry and it's a std. java mechanism.
Can we flesh this out a little. What would be the service interface?
I imagine something similar to the `InstanceProvider` I've proposed.
But I don't think I agree that a ServiceLoader + a new config to chose the right one
is better than a new config pointing to the class + an API to provide the instance in the
bootstrap. At least that's not consistent with our treatment of `TraversableResolver`,
`MessageInterpolator` and `ConstraintValidatorFactory`. And we know that service loader
files (META-INF/services/*) don't play well in modular environments esp OSGi.
