Numbers are validated on input according to a + hard-coded list of prefixes; this list of prefixes is also used to hyphenate + numbers on output. Since new prefixes are assigned from time to time, the + list of prefixes may be out of date. It is hoped that a future version of + this module will obtain the prefix list from one or more tables that + can be easily updated by users as needed; however, at present, the + list can only be updated by modifying the source code and recompiling. + Alternatively, prefix validation and hyphenation support may be + dropped from a future version of this module. + </p><p> + This module is considered <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">trusted</span>”</span>, that is, it can be + installed by non-superusers who have <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege + on the current database. + </p><div class="sect2" id="id-1.11.7.30.5"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">F.21.1.
