# known_errors is a dictionary of errors from validation that we want to give users a hint for solving their problem.
# The key is the known error, or part of the known error. It is a string.
# We use the key to see if we have a known error.
# The value is a dictionary that contains the hint for the user.

# If we want to capture details about the error we can use a regex for the key.
# If you use a regex, you must add a groups entry to the value dictionary.
# groups is a dictionary defining the values returned from the groups() method from  the regex search.
# They key is the string used as a placeholder in the hint, and the value is the groups index.

# I know this explanation is confusing. If you have ideas for clarification, pull request welcome.
