[mkgmap-dev] Commit: r2654: Improve matching of street names for housenumber assignment

well I dunno which characters are free. We already use all important ones.
Maybe a combination like: @{ ...} instead or in addition to (). Because 
all brackets are already in use. So best a special symbol followed by a 
bracket IMHO (if noone has a better idea).
