Feature Request: Auto-populate fields on machine readable passports

Most modern passports (and US Green Cards, EU ID cards and other travel documents) are machine readable. There's a published spec on how to read these documents, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-readable_passport

1password already parses the text of these documents into the notes field. It would be helpful that, if it sees a machine-readable document, it should populate the appropriate fields in the UI, such as document number, expiry date, etc.  This would save me a ton of annoying manual field entry!
