    This class enables the application of user-defined validation rules to NetBox models. It can be instantiated by
    passing a dictionary of validation rules in the form {attribute: rules}, where 'rules' is a dictionary mapping
    descriptors (e.g. min_length or regex) to values.

    A CustomValidator instance is applied by calling it with the instance being validated:

        validator = CustomValidator({'name': {'min_length: 10}})
