Form.Editor.validate() reads all form values for nothing

[sniederb]

Backbone.Form.Editor.validate() has the lines ...

var formValues = this.form ? this.form.getValue() : {},
...
error = getValidator(validator)(value, formValues);

However, all validators only have the signature
function(value)

As form validation calls editor.validate() for each editor, and then each editor build the entire form value model, the superfluous this.form.getValue() creates O(n^2) calls for nothing.

I actually use formValues in my custom validators...
A solution would be to pass the editor to the validator, then the validator can call editor.form.getValue() if necessary.
It would also offer access to the editor's config, which might be useful.

fonji, I really like that idea. Would be great to see that change soon.
