public interface JokeConstraint

A JokeConstraint represents a constraint on a particular aspect of a JokeStructure.

In its simplest form, a JokeConstraint supports a generate-and-test form of validation through the validate(JokeStructure) method, which returns true if the given joke satisfies that constraint, and false otherwise.
