// TODO: Support Canada. Biggest annoyance is the user interface.
//  Best option seems like it would be to recognize Canadian
//  province names/abbreviations & post codes, and use that to
//  specify Canada, with the ability to override with a switch.

// TODO: Support searches like "yp cubby, 1060 W. Addison St, 60613"
//  Probably distinguished by 3 argument case where last field is a zip
//  code (not a state) and second field has digits in it (to distinguish
//  from "yp cubby, Chicago IL, 60613".
