I should probably have explained? (I wasn't ignoring that you were 
asking for "without lead zeros")

No, not easy to implement. Impossible to implement since the "account 
number" field can't be defined as numeric. The name is deceptive, 
implying that the "account numbers" have to BE numbers and this is not 
true. You are seeing only YOUR chosen use of this field (a series of 
numbers using "." as the separator) and imagining that this is the ONLY 
way people might be using the field.

So it has to be "alphameric"
