Quadtree key of a map tile in the Bing Maps Tile System of Microsoft. The bits of the tile Y and X coordinates are interleaved and written as base-4 digits 0 to 3, with leading zeros kept. The number of digits equals the level of detail, from 1 to 23, and a tile's key begins with the key of its parent tile. The regexp only checks this shape, so it also matches other numbers made of the digits 0 to 3.
