That'd certainly be nice..  It was always one of the things on my "todo"
list for the tiger geocoder.

I don't see why we wouldn't support both..  Have the above function,
have the previous "non-intersection street address" function, and then
one which works for both..  What we call them could be up to some
debate, but I don't see a reason to not support all the options, if we
can reasonably do so (and I feel like we can..).

	Thanks!
