+/**
+* Class offers static methods for parsing and validating phone numbers. 
+* Phone Parser API provides methods which are used to parse and validate
+* phone numbers. The API consist of the CommonPhoneParser class.
+*
+* Examples of valid phone numbers:
+* 1.	+358501234567
+* 2.	+358 (50) 123 4567
+*
+* Even though both of the above examples are valid phone numbers, only 1) is 
+* accepted as a phone number by many systems. To convert 2) to 1), use the 
+* parsing method of the API.
+*
+*
+* Usage:
+*   
+* @code
+*  #include <commonphoneparser.h> 
+*
+*  // Example shows how to use the parsing method of the API.
+*
+*  // A number to be parsed. 
+*  TBuf<50> number1 = _L("+358 (40) 123 132");
+* 
+*  // Type of the phone number to be parsed is a regular phone number.
+*  TBool validNumber1 = 
+*  CommonPhoneParser::ParsePhoneNumber( number1,
+*                                       CommonPhoneParser::EPlainPhoneNumber );
+*
+*  // The phone number number1 is a valid regular phone number.
+*  // After parsing validNumber1 is ETrue and 
+*  // number1 is "+35840123132".
+*  // Do something like SendSMS( number1 ) etc.
+* 
+*  // A number to be parsed. 
+*  TBuf<50> number2 = _L("+358 (40) 123p132"); // note 'p'
+* 
+*  // Type of the phone number to be parsed is a regular phone number.
+*  TBool validNumber2 = 
+*  CommonPhoneParser::ParsePhoneNumber( number2,
+*                                       CommonPhoneParser::EPlainPhoneNumber );
+*
+*  // The phone number number2 is not a valid regular phone number.
+*  // After parsing validNumber2 is EFalse and 
+*  // number2 is "+358 (40) 123p132" (unchanged).
