Extend a ConstraintProvider (with ConstraintConfiguration)

[ge0ffrey]

Presume you have the following ConstraintProviders:

• AnimalConstraintProvider with 40 constraints.
• CatConstraintProvider with 200 declared constraints, extends AnimalConstraintProvider for 240 effective constraints.
• DogConstraintProvider with 300 declared constraints, extends AnimalConstraintProvider for 340 effective constraints.

Now, presume your model has a ConstraintConfiguration. It could be an instance of a CatConstraintConfiguration or a DogConstraintConfiguration. But the field is of type AnimalConstraintConfiguration (an abstract class). Can we make that work?

What about ConstraintVerifier tests?
