+  newfunction(:validate_numeric, :doc => <<-'ENDHEREDOC') do |args|
+    Validate that the first argument is a numeric value (or an array of numeric values). Abort catalog compilation if any of the checks fail.
+
+    The second argument is optional and passes a maximum. (All elements of) the first argument has to be less or equal to this max.
+
+    The third argument is optional and passes a minimum.  (All elements of) the first argument has to be greater or equal to this min.
+    If, and only if, a minimum is given, the second argument may be an empty string or undef, which will be handled to just check
+    if (all elements of) the first argument are greater or equal to the given minimum.
+
+    It will fail if the first argument is not a numeric (Integer or Float) or array of numerics, and if arg 2 and arg 3 are not convertable to a numeric.
+
+    For passing and failing usage, see `validate_integer()`. It is all the same for validate_numeric, yet now floating point values are allowed, too.
