    While attribute-specific validators can be used to validate individual

    attributes before the model is saved. This method is called automatically
    before `save()` takes any action. If validation fails, the `save()` call
    will be aborted.

    In your validation method, call the provided `callback` function with no
    arguments to indicate success. To indicate failure, pass a single argument,
    which may contain an error message, an array of error messages, or any other
    value. This value will be passed along to the `error` event.

    @example

        model.validate = function (attrs, callback) {

    @param {Function} callback Validation callback. Call this function when your
        validation logic finishes. To trigger a validation failure, pass any
        value as the first argument to the callback (ideally a meaningful
        validation error of some kind).

        @param {Any} [callback.err] Validation error. Don't provide this
            argument if validation succeeds. If validation fails, set this to an
            error message or some other meaningful value. It will be passed
