This seems like a good time to remind people of the difference between
a Directory Number, and what you dial to get to it.

The dialling pattern for NANP phone numbers usually includes the
leading 1 (though some carriers let you leave it off), but the
Directory Number doesn't include 1 -- as that is viewed as a
non-international address.

Now, if you treat as a full E.164 address, it *does* include the 1,
since that's the Country Code for the US.  But that's (usually) not
germane to dialplanning.  I think.
