[jQuery] JQuery Validation - call validate(options) multiple times to append options to current validator [validate]

[jQuery] JQuery Validation - call validate(options) multiple times to append options to current validator [validate]


I'm wondering if it's possible to call the validate method multiple
times to append more options to the validator.
I haven't tried it, but it seems like it will overwrite previous
options.
Example psuedo code:
var formValidator = $("#myForm").validate(options1);
formValidator += $("#myForm)".validate(options2);
The idea behind this is to build validators using existing options
without rewriting them all, and they may not be stored in the same
options object.
If my above example is incorrect, what is the proper way?
Thanks
