DigitBlock rules describe sequences of digit strings in length from two to four digits. For example, two zero (20), two three five four (2354), or twenty three fifty four (2354).
The length of the DigitBlock is encoded in the rule name. For example, DigitBlock_2Digits recognizes strings of digits that are two digits in length.
All DigitBlock rules return a value of type string.
