Renumber a given set of string identifiers by replacing the ids by integers.
Parameters
----------
source : str
The source column to be manipulated.
target : str (default='')

column will be manipulated by adding "id" to the name of the source
column.
override : bool (default=False)
Force to overwrite the data if the target column already exists.

-----
In addition to a new column, an further entry is added to the "_meta"

from the former string attributes. This attribute is called
"source2target" and can be accessed either via the "_meta" dictionary
or directly as an attribute of the wordlist.
