Optional Attribute Prefix

Rails always prefix attributes to the error messages. Only if errors are on the :base attribute would prefix be avoided.

This is however not always desired, especially in other languages. Some have developed plugins to solve this issue, for example adding "^" character to denote a prefix-less message. This however seems hacky.

Requirements

Since different translations of the same error to have different prefix setting, This implies that it must be conveyed at the same place as the locale messages, e.g. yaml file.

Possible solution 1

Provide way to set a flag when adding errors. For two methods: errors.add() and errors.add_without_prefix(). This sets a flag in error object, which determines whether prefix is added or not.
