implement optional masks with greede false option - see readme

README.md

@@ -316,6 +316,16 @@ While the field has focus and is blank, users will see the full mask `___-___`.
 When the required part of the mask is filled and the field loses focus, the user will see `123`.
 When both the required and optional parts of the mask are filled out and the field loses focus, the user will see `123-ABC`.
 
+#### Optional masks with greedy false
+
+When defining an optional mask together with the greedy: false option, the inputmask will show the smallest possible mask as input first.
+
+```javascript
+$(selector).inputmask({ mask: "99999[-9999]", greedy: false });
+```
+
+The initial mask shown will be "_____" instead of "_____-____". 
+
 ### Multiple masks
 
 You can define multiple mask for your input.  Depending on the input the masking will switch between the defined masks.
