Some points:
- Patch looks generally sound
- lacks a bit of a motivational statement, even though one can imagine uses
- Imho mode=MAP should error out if keeporig is false
- I personally find the the names for the different modes a bit nondescriptive.
One possibility would be to introduce parameters like:
- matchorig
- matchsynonym
- keeporig
- keepsynonym
That sounds way much easier to grasp for me.
Comments?
