defining the safety of a replacement class.

Importer variable parts are designated by [<variablename #no=<no>].
The variable name designates a class (class name) like NUMBER, MONTH ...;
with regular expression matching a variable consists of \ plus a variable
number, e.g. \1. It matches a variable part of a regular expression,
which is designated as (...).
