       | ``#``	Numeric
       | ``S``	Letter, a to z, case insensitive
       | ``N``	Alphanumeric, case insensitive for letters
       | ``A``	Letter, transformed to uppercase
       | ``a``	Letter, transformed to lowercase
       | ``X``	Alphanumeric, transformed to uppercase for letters
       | ``x``	Alphanumeric, transformed to lowercase for letters
       |
       | For instance the mask ``(###) ### - ####`` will format a phone number entry such as ``(514) 286 - 0768``.
