Besides implementing all the required interfaces for you, it also sets
up the underlying data structures in a lazy fashion. This allows you to
benefit from a rich API without the memory overhead when the meta data
isn't used.

You need to implement this method since it will be called after the
underlying validation context has been initialized. Incidentally, by
doing all your meta data setup here, you don't enforce a performance
penalty at each object construction like when you do this in the
default constructor.
