/**
 * A set of stop words in some language. Stop words is the name given to word
 * s which are filtered out prior to, or after, processing of natural language
 * text. There is no definite list of stop words which all NLP
 * tools incorporate. Not all NLP tools use a stoplist. Some
 * tools specifically avoid using them to support phrase search.
 * 
 * Stop words can cause problems when using a search engine to search for
 * phrases that include them, particularly in names such as 'The Who',
 * 'The The', or 'Take That'.
