+CardScheme
+==========
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.2
+    The CardScheme validation is new in Symfony 2.2.
+
+This constraint ensures that a credit card number is valid for a given credit card
+company. It can be used to validate the number before trying to initiate a payment 
+through a payment gateway.
