+Of course, since a Callable rule by itself is not a string, it isn't
+a rule name either. That is a problem when you want to set error messages
+for them. In order to get around that problem, you can put such rules as
+the second element of an array, with the first one being the rule name::
+
+ $this->form_validation->set_rules(
+ 'username', 'Username',
+ array(
+ 'required',
+ array('username_callable', array($this->users_model', 'valid_username'))
+ )
