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

[Gerhard Petracek]

hi sebastian,

i was going to +1 1.b as well, but i don't agree with point #1 (if it is
globally and/or users have to do it in any case) and #2.
(with @ValidateOnCall i'm ok with both default behaviours, if there is a
way to change it for a bv-archive.)

regards,
gerhard
