 Hello @westonruter

 I am seeing the problem with Option-1 solution is possible same filter
 apply twice from different files if developer didn't create subclass of
 `WP_Customize_Setting`.

 In Option-2 solution, `customize_setting_validities` is new filter which
 also allow developer to validate setting.

 So developer either do validation by adding filter on
 `customize_validate_{$setting->id}` or `customize_setting_validities`.

 Another solution is add `customize_validate_{$setting->id}` filter inside
 `WP_Customize_Manager::validate_setting_values()` and remove from
 `WP_Customize_Setting::validate()`, so developer can use only one filter
 to validate setting and no need to introduce of new filter.
