Saint vs St in street names

Description

Geocoder seems unable to handle "Saint" spelled out in a street name if the underlying data is stored as "St" (note that the first result is in Long Island) 

spatial=> select g.* from geocode('769 Saint Marks Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11213', 1) as g;
                      addy                      |                      geomout                       | rating
