No mention of [ValidateObjectMembers]?

Description

Greetings.

Apparently, there is no mention of the [ValidateObjectMembers] attribute (Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ValidateObjectMembersAttribute). Without it and as you already know, validation doesn't propagate recursively to object members which is (in my humble opinion) rather unintuitive. Since nothing warned me about this, I spent hours trying to figure out why validation didn't occur.

I actually didn't find any documentation about it besides at dotnet/runtime#36093 .

Thanks for notifying us of this. I think this is a dup of #32544
