24  /**
25   * Generic <strong>Code Validation</strong> providing format, minimum/maximum
26   * length and {@link CheckDigit} validations.
27   * <p>
28   * Performs the following validations on a code:
29   * <ul>
30   *   <li>if the code is null, return null/false as appropriate</li>
31   *   <li>trim the input. If the resulting code is empty, return null/false as appropriate</li>
32   *   <li>Check the <em>format</em> of the code using a <em>regular expression.</em> (if specified)</li>
33   *   <li>Check the <em>minimum</em> and <em>maximum</em> length  (if specified) of the <em>parsed</em> code
34   *      (that is, parsed by the <em>regular expression</em>).</li>
35   *   <li>Performs {@link CheckDigit} validation on the parsed code (if specified).</li>
36   *   <li>The {@link #validate(String)} method returns the trimmed, parsed input (or null if validation failed)</li>
37   * </ul>
38   * <p>
39   * <strong>Note</strong>
40   * The {@link #isValid(String)} method will return true if the input passes validation.
41   * Since this includes trimming as well as potentially dropping parts of the input,
42   * it is possible for a String to pass validation
43   * but fail the checkdigit test if passed directly to it (the check digit routines generally don't trim input
44   * nor do they generally check the format/length).
45   * To be sure that you are passing valid input to a method use {@link #validate(String)} as follows:
46   * <pre>
47   * Object valid = validator.validate(input);
48   * if (valid != null) {
49   *    some_method(valid.toString());
50   * }
51   * </pre>
52   * <p>
53   * Configure the validator with the appropriate regular expression, minimum/maximum length
54   * and {@link CheckDigit} validator and then call one of the two validation
55   * methods provided:</p>
56   *    <ul>
57   *       <li>{@code boolean isValid(code)}</li>
58   *       <li>{@code String validate(code)}</li>
59   *    </ul>
60   * <p>
61   * Codes often include <em>format</em> characters - such as hyphens - to make them
62   * more easily human-readable. These can be removed prior to length and check digit
63   * validation by specifying them as a <em>non-capturing</em> group in the regular
64   * expression (that is, use the {@code (?:   )} notation).
65   * <br>
66   * Or just avoid using parentheses except for the parts you want to capture
67   *
