I'm finding an interesting issue when using the geocoder with a particular 
input.

If I search for the address, "02135"—a postal code that corresponds to 
Brighton (a neighborhood of Boston), MA—I'm not given the postal code back 
as an address component. The returned formatted address reads:
"Brighton, Boston, MA, USA"

And the types are listed as, "neighborhood" and "political."
The results of that query can be seen here: 
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=02135&sensor=false

If, however, I add a component filter of "postal_code:02135" I'm given the 
following formatted address:
"Boston, MA 02135, USA"

and the only type returned is "postal_code".
The results of that query can be seen here: 
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=02135&components=postal_code:02135&sensor=false

My questions are why isn't the postal_code included in the first query and 
is there anyway I can specify a component filter using the maps JavaScript 
client library?

Thanks.
