Description:
I am interested in some new data types that I often work with:

email -    user @ domain.com
urls (like http, ftp, etc)
phone #'s

why are they needed?

an example: user@email.com.... it would support a validator to make sure the email address is the right format, and it would be searchable on the domain.com index

a url index would also be searchable on domain names, hopefully indexed in reverse order (.com, cnn.com, sub.cnn.com). 

I find myself programming these data types over and over again for different applications

How to repeat:
n/a

Datatypes for IPv4 and IPv6 adresses would be nice.
