Ann: Chatter - a simple library for language processing

[Grzegorz Chrupała]

Nice!

Regarding working with Text in the Tokenize lib, I'm just wondering,
wouldn't it be just as efficient to just use "pack . tokenize .
unpack"? There is quite a bit of character-by-character processing
involved in tokenization anyway.
