Description

Credit card validators currently rely on regexes.
Whilst these are flexible enough for the purpose, it is difficult to define the REs and hard to read them.

It would be simpler if the user could provide the prefix ranges and lengths, for example:

Amex: "34", length 15
Discover: "644" -> "65", length 16

(both the above have other ranges which would need to be provided separately)

This can then be converted internally into the appropriate validation routines.
