	-wild-	Specification of a constructor (string) that defines how new names are to be
	constr(n)	constructed from a previously specified selector (i.e. a selection string with
		wildcards). See also with-wild. n denotes the maximum input length when
		using wildcards.
		The constructor may consist of constant strings and patterns. A pattern
		(character) is replaced by the string that was selected by the corresponding
		pattern in the selector.
		The following wildcards may be used in constructors:
		Wildcard	Meaning
		*	Corresponds to the string selected by the wildcard * in the
			selector.
		Termina-	Corresponds to the partially-qualified specification of a name in
		ting period	the selector;
			corresponds to the string selected by the terminating period in
			the selector.
		/ or ?	Corresponds to the character selected by the / or ? wildcard in
			the selector.
		<n>	Corresponds to the string selected by the n-th wildcard in the
			selector, where n is an integer.

Allocation of wildcards to corresponding wildcards in the selector:

All wildcards in the selector are numbered from left to right in ascending order (global index).

Identical wildcards in the selector are additionally numbered from left to right in ascending order (wildcard-specific index).

Wildcards can be specified in the constructor by one of two mutually exclusive methods:

1.Wildcards can be specified via the global index: <n>

2.The same wildcard may be specified as in the selector; substitution occurs on the basis of the wildcard-specific index. For example:

the second “/” corresponds to the string selected by the second “/” in the selector
