The service wrapper I wrote for the Geocoding API has been throwing errors because of an undocumented address component type 'establishment.' 

Example:

I get the gist of what it is supposed to represent, but how does it differ from the 'point_of_interest' address component? Are there any other hidden component types I should be on the lookout for?

No help?

I managed to run across another one: 'postal_code_prefix'
Since that is probably not the last one I'm going to find, I guess I
can just forget about mapping the response address component type to
an Enum like I currently have.

If you're going to change the API mid-version, you could at least
update the documentation.
