com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList<CommentValidationFailure> validateComments(CommentValidationContext ctx,
                                                                                   com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList<CommentForValidation> comments)
```
    Validate the specified comments. This method will be called once with the comments argument containing all new comments that need to be validated and (if applicable) the new change message. This allows validators to statelessly count the new comments. Note that after this one call the method may be called again one or more times for texts that are not comments, but similar in nature.
    NOTE: Autogenerated change messages are not subject to validation.
    
    Returns:
    
    An empty list if all comments are valid, or else a list of validation failures.
