Straight Rainbow

The "straight rainbow" is a fairly unusual rank.  To have a straight rainbow, you must hold 5 cards that qualify both as a straight and as a rainbow.  In other words you must hold 5 cards with consecutive values and each suit is represented at least once.  (Please see the sections on "Straights" and "Rainbows" for more precise definitions.)  Below is an example of a "Straight Rainbow":

5 of hearts 4 of spades 6 of clubs 3 of stars 7 of diamonds

The cards represent each suit at least once and they have consecutive odd values (3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
