duplicate files in md

[mssammon]

These are apparently duplicates or replications of files in other modules ('external', 'corpusreaders', and 'tokenizer').

If they are duplicates, replace them. If they are modified versions, unify them.

Ok I will handle it

For ACE reader: I think I have to keep this version unless 1) we merge the true-cased ACEReader into corpusreader 2) we discard true-casing in both MD and RE @danyaljj We don't want the true-cased ACEReader in corpusreader right?

We don't want the true-cased ACEReader in corpusreader

True. is it possible to make it a class that extends the ACEReader of corpusreader and overrides the method that uses the true-caser? Also, if you change the name it would reduce the confusion. (For example ACEReaderWithTrueCaseFixer). An alternative method is to write a function that given TextAnnotation with messed up casing, it fixes the casing and creates a new TextAnnotation. This was you can reuse the ACEReader of corpusreaders.

I really like the idea of a truecaser function...

I will first try to extent the class. I think it should work.
