looksGermanfunction
Whether an address is surely German, with no hint: it ends with Germany, Deutschland or a code such as D-10115 before
the place, or its last line begins with a postcode and a place (10115 Berlin) while the address has a street that ends
in a German suffix (Hauptstraße, Kastanienallee, Am Markt) followed by its number, or a Postfach or a
Packstation. A US ZIP code follows its state, a Canadian one ends in a digit and a French street begins with its
number and a type of voie, so none of those has that shape.
