Turn names and addresses into keys that can be matched.

np_name_core() np_name_placeholder(): Exact-lookup name key and placeholder check for raw name strings

Statistics over the keys

Count how common names, tokens and addresses are, for weighting and blocking.

np_name_freq(): Name-key frequency table for a reference corpus
np_token_idf(): Per-token inverse document frequency for a reference corpus
np_addr_freq(): Address-sharing statistics for a reference corpus
np_mail_freq(): Mail-key frequency table for a reference corpus

The signature

Fingerprint the normalizer so stored keys can refuse to load under a different one.

np_normalize_signature(): Fingerprint the normalizer

Building blocks

Tokenizers, stopwords and the rule tables the keys are built from.
