Appendix		Suffixes for data types
	Suffix	Meaning
	with-wild-	The following rules must be observed when specifying a constructor:
	constr	– The constructor must include at least one wildcard of the selector.
	(continued)
		– If the number of identical wildcards exceeds those in the selector, the
		index notation must be used.
		– If the string selected by the wildcard <...> or [...] is to be used in the
		constructor, the index notation must be selected.
		– The index notation must be selected if the string identified by the
		wildcard “*” is to be duplicated. For example:
		“<n><n>” must be specified instead of “**”.
		– The wildcard * can also be an empty string. Note that if multiple asterisks
		appear in sequence (even with further wildcards), only the last asterisk
		can be a non-empty string, e.g. for “****” or “*//*”.
		– Valid names must be produced by the constructor. This must be taken
		into account when specifying both the constructor and the selector.
		– Depending on the constructor, identical names may be constructed from
		different names selected by the selector. For example:
		“A/*” selects the names “A1” and “A2”; the constructor “B*” generates
		the same new name “B” in both cases.
		To prevent this from occurring, all wildcards of the selector should be
		used at least once in the constructor.
		– If the selector ends with a period, the constructor must also end with a
		period (and vice versa).
