/*
address assumptions:
- US addresses only (probably want separate parser for different countries)
- No country code expected.
- if last token is a number it is probably a postal code
-- 5 digit number means more likely
- if last token is a hyphenated string it might be a postal code
-- if both sides are numeric, and in form #####-#### it is more likely
- if city is supplied, state will also be supplied (city names not unique)
- zip/postal code may be omitted even if has city & state
- state may be two-char code or may be full state name.
- commas:
-- last comma is usually city/state separator
-- second-to-last comma is possibly street/city separator
-- other commas are building-specific stuff that I don't care about right now.
- token count:
-- because units, street names, and city names may contain spaces token count highly variable.
-- simplest address has at least two tokens: 714 OAK
-- common simple address has at least four tokens: 714 S OAK ST
-- common full (mailing) address has at least 5-7:
--- 714 OAK, RUMTOWN, VA 59201
--- 714 S OAK ST, RUMTOWN, VA 59201
-- complex address may have a dozen or more:
--- MAGICICIAN SUPPLY, LLC, UNIT 213A, MAGIC TOWN MALL, 13 MAGIC CIRCLE DRIVE, LAND OF MAGIC, MA 73122-3412
