taxonkit Synonyms #9

Taxonkit v0.2.4 (linux/mac/windows)

Maybe in the next release, taxonkit could identify synonyms names (from names.dmp). For example:

"Chlorobium tepidum" is the "unofficial name" of "Chlorobaculum tepidum" with taxid 1097. It could be great, if taxonkit could identify synonyms too, because some names like that, appears in literature. No results when i tested the "no scientific" name with names2taxid.

Thanks, :)
