## Parsing
### Why wasn't the country code removed when parsing?
In some cases, the library cannot tell if the leading digits of a phone number
are intended to be the country calling code, or the start of the national
significant number.
This affects primarily German phone numbers, where 49 is both a country calling
code and an area code, and numbers of variable lengths are valid. The leading
digits will only be interpreted as a country calling code if the number is not
already considered a possible number for the region provided when parsing.
If you know that your numbers are always in the form < country calling
code> < national significant number> , it is safe to put a "+" in front to
indicate this to the library.
