// E.164. It is a language/country-neutral representation of a phone number at a country level. For
// countries which have the concept of Area Code, the National (significant) Number contains the
// area code. It contains a maximum number of digits which equal to 15 - n, where n is the number of
// digits of the country code. Take note that National (significant) Number does not contain
// National(trunk) prefix. Obviously, as a uint64, it will never contain any formatting (hypens,
// spaces, parentheses), nor any alphanumeric spellings.

// Extension is not standardized in ITU recommendations, except for being defined as a series of
// numbers with a maximum length of 40 digits. It is defined as a string here to accommodate for the

// as there is no standard defined). However, only ASCII digits should be stored here.

// has not happened yet. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%2B39 for more details.

// This field can be safely ignored (no need to set it) if you are not dealing with Italian
