make sure [sic] gets parsed #33

Closed mdoering closed 10 months ago

[sic]is placed right after a part of a name to indicate that it is given in its original, verbatim form. The name usually was later corrected or at least commonly used in a different spelling.

Melanella hollandri [sic] var. detrita Kucik

Example: Mycobacterium stercusis (sic) Bergey et al 1923. Typographic error later corrected by the authors to Mycobacterium stercoris; this maybe cited as Mycobacterium stercoris corrig.

either represented as a sic property that takes an NamePart enum value like notho, or we add a generic prefix/suffix field for each epithet that can take any string, e.g. also qualifiers like aff. or cf..
