OK, this is a partial description of the problem, but only the "after" (i.e.
target) state.

What we need are mappings from the single-string "itemcallnumber"
representation to the appropriate separate parts.  

For example, here are some test cases I propose:

HE8700.7 .P6T44 1983 => 
  HE
  8700.7 
  P6T44
  1983

BS2545.E8 H39 1996 =>
  BS
  2545
  .E8
  H39
  1996

BS2545.E8 .H39 1996 => 
  BS
  2545
  .E8
  H39
  1996

NX512.S85 A4 2006 =>
  NX
  512
  .S85
  A4
  2006

Are those correct mappings?  Are they even "valid" LCCN to begin with?  Note
the "H39" vs ".H39" difference.  

What characters or sections should get "dropped"?  There does not appear to be
any reliable rule that would apply to all libraries.
