Canonical representation of Verses

Goal

The idea here is that we define a human and machine readable format for storing verses.

Format

The basic format is

(?<bookid>[A-Za-z1-9]+) (?<chapter>[1-9][0-9]{0,2})/(?<verse_from>[1-9][0-9]{0,2})(-(?<verse_to>[1-9][0-9]{0,2}))?

Some tests can be found at https://regexr.com/5rmsd

Some valid examples:

• Exo 1/17

• 1Sam 2/18-34
