-    If "type" is "string", then:
-
-        "reMatch" may be a JavaScript (Perl 5-like) regular expression
-        that restricts the allowed values.  The regular expression
-        must match the entire string value, that is, it is treated as
-        if it begins with ^ and ends with $, regardless of whether it
-        really does.
-
-        If "reMatch" is specified, then "reComment" may be a string
-        that describes the allowed values, phrased so that it fits
-        into a sentence such as "This value must be...".

-        "minLength" and "maxLength" or both may be specified,
-        restricting the valid length of value strings.  If both are
-        specified, then maxLength must be greater than or equal to

-        or UTF-16 code units).
