Hi! Thanks for the patch!

I see you are a doxygen-master, nice.

2. OCD mode on. I would propose either make tuple the first
argument, or rename it to box_tuple_format_validate_tuple().
So as to be consistent with our agreement, that if something
is a method of <type>, then the <type> argument goes first,
and the method name is <type>_<action>.

I see we currently have in the public API the functions:

	box_tuple_validate - your new function, a bit
		inconsistent.

	box_tuple_validate_key_parts - this should have been
		box_key_def_validate_tuple from the beginning,
		but we can't do anything about it now.

	box_key_def_validate_key - correct. Key_def goes first,
		and the name is consistent.

So if you will make box_tuple_validate consistent, we will have
more correct signatures (2/3) than incorrect, for validation
methods at least.
