Locator format

OSIS locator: `Book.Chapter.Verse`. The canonical book vocabulary is the OSIS book abbreviation list (CrossWire), case-sensitive as published there — e.g. `Gen`, `Exod`, `Matt`, `John`, `1Cor`. Chapter and verse are positive integers without leading zeros. Both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament cite with this grammar.

Regex: ^(?<book>[1-4]?[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*)\.(?<chapter>[1-9][0-9]*)\.(?<verse>[1-9][0-9]*)$
