#### Token Analysis
The token-analysis section contains the list of configured analyzers. Each
analyzer must have an `id` parameter that uniquely identifies the analyzer.
The only exception is the default analyzer that is used when no special
-analyzer was selected. There is one special id '@housenumber'. If an analyzer
