[Validator] Is getDelimitedRegExp() really needed

[David Graham <dg...@hotmail.com>]

There is a method ValidatorUtil.getDelimitedRegExp(String) that simply puts 
a / on both sides of the given string (ie. /regex/).  Do we really need this 
method?  It's a lot more code to use it than to just put the /s on yourself.

If the delimiter was to change to say '@' then having a method would
make sense. To make that usefull there should be a setDelimiter() method 
in the Utils. Otherwise, sure deleter/deprecate it.
