it seems to work, but needs some help.

i put it on pylonshq as a pastie here:

to note:

- decorating with @osn_validate is mostly backwards compatible
- - the main difference is that there is a gatekeeper functionality ,
set true to default.  the gatekeeper will cause an error if the form
doesn't process.  the concept is to get around issues where post_only
could be true, but an arg like "submit=true" is sent via get and
dispatches to your form submit anyways.

- osn_validate wraps osn_form_validator and osn_form_reprint

- osn_form_validator does two takes:
- - returns True or False based on it being valid or not
- - sets up self.osn_form on your controller.
- - you can also submit 'params' to it, to validate outside of get/
post args

osn_form is a osn_FormResults object.  it just stores the following
info:
- is_error
- is_parsed
- errors
- params
- results

why would we store that info ?

because then you can import osn_form_reprint into controllers and
then...

    self.osn_form.errors['age']= 'yay custom errors throws!'
    self.osn_form.errors['sex']= 'more than one!'
    self.osn_form.errors['language']= 'now i can make fun websites
easier!'
    return osn_form_reprint( self , 'print_function' )

a few other  things i did:
-  i changed "self" to "ControllerInstance" , because the term "self"
was confusing to me.
- osn_form is stashed as c. osn_form ; but the results & errors are
copied back to where @validate wants them too
- i created a ValidationStop exception to just stop validating when
needed.  an earlier version of this used it extensively, now its
barely used, but still useful

i'm sure this could be improved upon a bit!
