Description

SomeValidator.VALIDATORS assumes a 1-1 mapping between validators and validating functions.

That's not necessarily the case though.

E.g., the implementation of the then validator happens inside if.

Research direction

Start by reading SomeValidator.VALIDATORS and the implementation of the then validator inside if, as identified in the issue. Trace how validator names are exposed and determine how to prevent the mapping from revealing which function handles a validator; done means the implementation detail is no longer leaked without breaking validator behavior.
