Value Normalization

[etinquis]

Do you have any recommendations on implementing normalization for values, and/or might there be justification for implementing an option to support normalization during construction? Something like

public MyUnit(T value)
{
    this.value = Normalize(value);
    this.Validate();
}

Right now, I'm looking at normalizing string values via trimming (at a minimum). I can't use Validate to modify the value because my value is readonly. I'd also like to use the value via json conversion, but I don't see an obvious way to inject normalization in there.

As another potential example off the top of my head, consider something like a clamped numeric value, where numbers outside a range are accepted but clamped to the bounds of the range.

If you are interested, I wouldn't mind diving in and implementing it. 👍

+1, it would be really useful

Implemented it in #31.

Note: Support for the API is slightly different from @etinquis 's suggestion.
Since partial method does not support return values, we use the following style:

private partial void Normalize(ref value)
{
    value = Math.Min(value, 9999);
}
