Sugest: New datatype "Personal identification" / "National identification" / "SSN"

[ExequielAD]

Creation of a new datatype "Personal identification" / "National identification" / "SSN". Country dependant.

We solved modifying Alphanumeric class for the Spanish DNI. It may generate some duplicated values but its enough for our needs

    public function generate($generator, $generationContextData) {
            $formats = explode("|", $generationContextData["generationOptions"]);
            $chosenFormat = $formats[0];
            if (count($formats) > 1) {
                    $chosenFormat = $formats[rand(0, count($formats)-1)];
            }
            if ($chosenFormat=="[[DNI]]"){ // Spanish national identity
                    $chosenFormat="xxxxxxxx"; // 8 digits
                    $isDNI=1;
            }elseif ($chosenFormat=="[[xDNI]]"){ // Spanish Foreign Identification Number
                    $chosenFormat="xxxxxxx";  // 7 digits
                    $isXDNI=1;
                    $isDNI=1;
            }
            $val = Utils::generateRandomAlphanumericStr($chosenFormat);
            if ($isXDNI) { // must add Foriegn Identification Number letter
                    $val = substr("XYZ",rand(0,2),1) . $val;
            }
            if ($isDNI) { // must calculate identity control digit
                    $val .= substr("TRWAGMYFPDXBNJZSQVHLCKE",strtr($val,"XYZ","012")%23,1);
            }
            return array(
                    "display" => $val
            );
    }

I've added a GitHub project called NationalId https://github.com/twindual/NationalId that I'm integrating into my fork of generatedata. Just need some time this weekend to test out the new datatype NationalId before submitting a pull request. Would you mind if I included your code as well?

Terrific, guys. Yeah, assuming exequial doesn't mind, my preference would be for your single data type, Andre, to group all the national IDs. That would be a very nice addition.
