Feature Request: Custom Validator with dependent fields.

[stefanm8]

Objective

Pass entire object to Custom Validator method _is_valid e.g _is_valid(self, value, root)

Example

You may encounter the use case as such

/document.yaml

owner: "turtle"
members: ["turtle", "cat"]

You may want to validate that the turtle is not part of members since he is already the owner, thus is implicit a member.

Alternatives

• You can achieve this kind of functionality via a wrapper, but I find it harder to maintain.

PS: I can look into this if this feature is desirable.

We're looking for something like this and it doesn't look supported which probably means we can't use Yamale.

Our use case is we have a database engine time and an instances type, some databases only support some instances but we can't verify the instance_type without knowing the database engine type.
