858 - We now store the preferred domestic carrier code used when the user calls parseAndKeepRawInput
859 - New functionality to extract phone-numbers from text (findNumbers). This is just the first
860 version - it does not extract ALPHA numbers such as 0800 CALL ME, or numbers where alternate
861 endings are specified (such as 03-331 6005/6006).
863 - Tidying up the test file to use several pre-defined phone number constants

891 This will no longer throw a NumberParseException - instead we will return NOT_A_NUMBER if one
892 or other of the numbers provided do not match.
