Related article in the ZooCode: 5.3. Typographical signs and qualifying abbreviations excluded. A typographical sign such as ?, and an abbreviation such as aff., prox. or cf., when used to qualify the application of a scientific name, does not form part of the name of a taxon even when inserted between the components of a name. See also "Open nomenclature" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_nomenclature

Even if those modifiers are not part of the names, I think the point here is being able to match names found in not-so-clean taxonomic lists (which sometimes contain those modifiers, as mentioned in https://github.com/gnames/gnverifier/issues/64). @abubelinha
