/**
 * Modulus 10 <b>Luhn</b> Check Digit calculation/validation.
 * <p>
 * Luhn check digits are used, for example, by:
 * <ul>
 *    <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card">Credit Card Numbers</a></li>
 *    <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMEI">IMEI Numbers</a> - International
 *        Mobile Equipment Identity Numbers</li>
 * </ul>
 * Check digit calculation is based on <i>modulus 10</i> with digits in
 * an <i>odd</i> position (from right to left) being weighted 1 and <i>even</i>
 * position digits being weighted 2 (weighted values greater than 9 have 9 subtracted).
 * <p>
 * See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm">Wikipedia</a>
 * for more details.
