+__RLTK__
+
+An attempt to manually port some of nltk to rust.
+
+Currently in it's infancy: 
+* rltk::lm::preprocessing::pad_both_ends(\["a","b","c"], 2) -> "\<s>", "a", "b", "c", "\</s>"]
+* rltk::util::pad_sequence == same as above with customisation
+* rltk::util::pad_sequence_left == same
+* rltk::util::pad_sequence_right == same
+* rltk::util::ngrams(\["a","b","c"],2) -> \[\["a"], \["b"], \["b"], \["c"]]
+* rltk::util::bigrams(\["a","b","c"]) == ngrams(..., 2) 
+* rltk::util::trigrams(\["a","b","c"]) == ngrams(..., 3)
