Multi-Word Expression Tokenizer
A ``MWETokenizer`` takes a string which has already been divided into tokens and
retokenizes it, merging multi-word expressions into single tokens, using a lexicon
of MWEs:
>>> from nltk.tokenize import MWETokenizer
>>> tokenizer = MWETokenizer([('a', 'little'), ('a', 'little', 'bit'), ('a', 'lot')])
>>> tokenizer.add_mwe(('in', 'spite', 'of'))
>>> tokenizer.tokenize('Testing testing testing one two three'.split())
['Testing', 'testing', 'testing', 'one', 'two', 'three']
>>> tokenizer.tokenize('This is a test in spite'.split())
['This', 'is', 'a', 'test', 'in', 'spite']
>>> tokenizer.tokenize('In a little or a little bit or a lot in spite of'.split())
['In', 'a_little', 'or', 'a_little_bit', 'or', 'a_lot', 'in_spite_of']
