+- Add internal `PropertyValidationProcessor<TObj, T>` class.
+- Switch to using `PropertyValidationProcessor<TObj, T>` in `ExpressPropertyValidator<TObj, T>` and `ExpressPropertyValidator<TObj, TOptions, T>`.

 ## 0.12.2
 
 - Move the instance field `TypeValidatorBase._shouldBeComparedToNull` to a static readonly field (renamed to `_canBeNull`) to cache the reflection result per `TypeValidatorBase<T>` type and eliminate redundant per-instance evaluations.
