Find the matching ISO3166-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1) country code or name when passed the other.


Usage

  Cream_iso3166_1(word, ...)

o Test {word} for match of iso3166_1-compliant country name, 3- or 2-letter abbreviation, or 3-digit numerical code:
  * Returns name if {word} matches either abbreviation.
  * Returns 2-letter if {word} matches name or number.
  * Returns 0 if no match is made.
o Use {optional} argument to force a given return:
  * Returns 3-letter if {optional} is "3" and {word} matches.
  * Returns 2-letter if {optional} is "2" and {word} matches.
  * Returns name if {optional} is "name" and {word} matches.
  * Returns number if {optional} is "number" and {word} matches.
  * Returns 0 if no match is made.
o Matching is case-insensitive. But return values are capitalized according to the standard. (Name is title case, abbreviations are UPPER CASE.)
