 The tx_edges table uses '''I- 635''' instead of the more consistent
 '''I-635'''.

 This looks weird but works:

 {{{
 SELECT ST_AsEWKT(geomout) FROM geocode_intersection('N. Belt Line', 'I-
 635', 'TX', 'Coppell') ORDER BY rating ASC LIMIT 1;
 }}}

 This looks correct but doesn't work:

 {{{
 SELECT ST_AsEWKT(geomout) FROM geocode_intersection('N. Belt Line',
 'I-635', 'TX', 'Coppell') ORDER BY rating ASC LIMIT 1;
 }}}

 Seems like the geocoder needs to work around these kind of errors in the
 Tiger data.
