Comment (by stefanblag):

 This addition is critically needed for the Bulgarian and other maps with
 soviet-era apartment buildings. For example a building's address may be
 "Batova Street 1B, Apartment Block 5, Entrance (Unit) A". The unit cannot
 be concatenated to the building name or street number as it might be
 mistaken for a duplex. In some cases the units might be independent from
 the street number. For now I keep adding addr:unit tags, hoping for the
 search to work someday.
