/**
 * <p>
 * <b>Percentage Validation</b> and Conversion routines (<code>java.math.BigDecimal</code>).
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * This is one implementation of a percent validator that has the following features:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>It is <i>lenient</i> about the the presence of the <i>percent symbol</i></li>
 * <li>It converts the percent to a <code>java.math.BigDecimal</code></li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p>
 * However any of the <i>number</i> validators can be used for <i>percent</i> validation. For example, if you wanted a
 * <i>percent</i> validator that converts to a <code>java.lang.Float</code> then you can simply instantiate an
 * <code>FloatValidator</code> with the appropriate <i>format type</i>:
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * <code>... = new FloatValidator(false, FloatValidator.PERCENT_FORMAT);</code>
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Pick the appropriate validator, depending on the type (i.e Float, Double or BigDecimal) you want the percent converted to.
 * Please note, it makes no sense to use one of the validators that doesn't handle fractions (i.e. byte, short, integer, long and
 * BigInteger) since percentages are converted to fractions (i.e <code>50%</code> is converted to <code>0.5</code>).
 * </p>
