Deprecated.

    #
    # Register special rules for form variables.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #    ad_set_typed_form_variable_filter /my_module/* {a_id number} {b_id word} {*_id integer}
    #
    # For all pages under /my_module, set_form_variables would set 
    # $a_id only if it was number, and $b_id only if it was a 'word' 
    # (a string that contains only letters, numbers, dashes, and 
    # underscores), and all other variables that match the pattern
    # *_id would be set only if they were integers.
    #
    # Variables not listed have no restrictions on them.
    #
    # By default, the three supported datatypes are 'integer', 'number',
    # and 'word', although you can add your own type by creating
    # functions named ad_var_type_check_${type_name}_p which should
    # return 1 if the value is a valid $type_name, or 0 otherwise.
    #
    # There's also a special datatype named 'nocheck', which will
    # return success regardless of the value. (See the docs for 
    # ad_var_type_check_${type_name}_p to see how this might be
    # useful.)
    #
    # The default data_type is 'integer', which allows you shorten the
    # command above to:
    #
    #    ad_set_typed_form_variable_filter /my_module/* a_id {b_id word}
    #

    ad_page_contract is the preferred mechanism to do automated
    validation of form variables.
