How to include ValidationError.CustomState in ResponseStatus.Meta?

I have the following code in one of my validators:

        RuleFor(foo => foo)
            .Must(foo => foo != null)
            .WithState(bar => new { Baz, Qux });

Then in my service I have this:

        var validationResult = new FooValidator().Validate(req.Foo);

        if (!validationResult.IsValid)
        {
            throw validationResult.ToException();
        }

I thought the CustomState of the ValidationError would be included in the ResponseStatus.Meta property. However, that was not the case.

Is there a clean way I can make this happen?

Previously ServiceStack only supported maintaining a String Dictionary state which would be serialized under the ResponseStatus Error Field Meta Dictionary, e.g:

RuleFor(foo => foo)
    .Must(foo => foo != null)
    .WithState(bar => new Dictionary<string,string> { ["Baz"] = "Qux" });

Which will be serialized in the Error Field Meta dictionary, e.g:

response.Errors[0].Meta //= ["Bar"] = "Qux"

This is the preferred approach as the same Dictionary<string,string> configured in your CustomState will be serialized as-is in the Meta dictionary.

Otherwise I've just added support for anonymous objects so you're now able to use:

RuleFor(foo => foo)
    .Must(foo => foo != null)
    .WithState(bar => new { Baz = "Qux" });

Which will result in the same serialized response DTO.

This change is available from v5.9.3+ that's now available on MyGet.
