Ah, ok, I see.  When converting this to a PG function, I'd probably want
to go ahead and pull those lists from the TIGER data set and compile the
regexps on PG backend startup instead.  Does it handle misspelled names
or do any kind of "sounds like" searching on the city names?  I'm
guessing 'no', but figured I'd ask anyway..

	Thanks!
