 In writing book, noticed one discrepancy between normalize_address and
 pagc_address_parser.  I suppose in some case the results may be right,
 though feels wrong.


 {{{
 SELECT * from normalize_address('1731 New Hampshire Avenue Northwest,
 Washington, DC 20010');

 address|predirabbrev|streetname|streettypeabbrev|postdirabbrev|internal|location|stateabbrev|zip|parsed
 1731||New Hampshire|Ave|NW||Washington|DC|20010|t
 }}}

 {{{
 SELECT * from pagc_normalize_address('1731 New Hampshire Avenue Northwest,
 Washington, DC 20010');

 address|predirabbrev|streetname|streettypeabbrev|postdirabbrev|internal|location|stateabbrev|zip|parsed
 1731||NEW HAMPSHIRE|AVE||# NORTHWEST|WASHINGTON|DC|20010|t
 }}}

 To rule out my custom edits as being the culprit, I tested

 {{{
 SELECT * from standardize_address('lex', 'gaz', 'rules'
 , '1731 New Hampshire Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20010');

 address|predirabbrev|streetname|streettypeabbrev|postdirabbrev|internal|location|stateabbrev|zip|parsed
 1731||NEW HAMPSHIRE|AVE||# NORTHWEST|WASHINGTON|DC|20010|t
 }}}

 I feel Northwest should be treated as a sufix rather than internal as it
 is with normalize_address, but not quite sure what to change here without
 messing up something else.
