+
+    Unlike other constraints, the ``Valid`` constraint does not use the ``Default``
+    group. This means that it will always be applied by default, **even** if you
+    specify a group when calling the validator. If you want to restrict the
+    constraint to a subset of groups, you have to define the ``groups`` option.
