Damn! Just read the title and a few lines from the post but will definitely go through it fully and thoroughly. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't mean to reduce the complexity of the challenge. Was mostly trying to convey that the specific cases being discussed, should be something that I could quickly solution and incorporate in the API.

You're right about ALL the different kinds of edge cases that exist though and really, I'm trying to have this API be the go-to solution for it. Clearly, it's still not there. But it will be. I'm now more sure than ever.
