replacing taxon names Catalogue of Life yields no results, whereas appending names does

where

echo -e "\tHomo sapiens" | nomer append col 

produces a result:

but . . . when using

echo -e "\tHomo sapiens" | nomer replace col

it yield,

[blank][tab]Homo sapiens

where

COL:6MB3T[tab]Homo sapiens

was expected.

[jhpoelen]

Root cause was that Catalogue of Life using a more specific name relation (e.g., HAS_ACCEPTED_NAME), instead of the more generic SAME_AS. For historic reason, the command nomer replace only accepted SAME_AS relations.

With current changes, all non-NONE relation make nomer replace substitute the provided name.
