It shouldn't be difficult to do. But people are either busy, or assume that someone else will do it.
set_value() works fine if you do not load the Validation library. But if you DO load it, then it checks if the corresponding field has a rule set defined. If YES, then it works fine. If NO, it fails quietly and doesn't do anything. Shouldn't be hard to add a check to see if the field is defined on top of if the library is loaded.
