Hello,

In e.g. source/locale/fr/symbols.dic, we have

dates .	((?<=\b\d\d)\.(?=\d\d.(\d{2}|\d{4})\b))|((?<=\b\d\d.\d\d)\.(?=(\d{2}|\d{4})\b))
dates .	 	all	always	# point de date

so as to remove dots from the dates. This is relatively complex, and could be much better written with matching groups:

dates .	\b(\d\d)\.(\d\d)\.(\d{2}|\d{4})\b
dates .	\1 \2 \3 	all	always	# point de date

It would allow to write more easily such rules like:

price	\b(\d\+),(\d\+)\s?€\b
price	\1 euros \2	all	always	# prix à virgules

etc.

I would be just a few lines more in _regexpRepl to perform the group replacement, I can work on it if the principle is Ok? (basically it means making the replacement string interpret \ characters, thus allowing for this feature, and possibly even more in the future)
