[jira] [Reopened] (VALIDATOR-415) Simplify building new CreditCard validators

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-415?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sebb reopened VALIDATOR-415:
----------------------------

Some cards use disjoint ranges, so it would be useful to support that.

> Credit card validators currently rely on regexes.
> Whilst these are flexible enough for the purpose, it is difficult to define the REs and hard to read them.
> It would be simpler if the user could provide the prefix ranges and lengths, for example:
> Amex: "34", length 15
> Discover: "644" -> "65", length 16
> (both the above have other ranges which would need to be provided separately)
> This can then be converted internally into the appropriate validation routines.
