/**
 * Human name parser.
 *
 * The {@link com.tupilabs.human_name_parser.HumanNameParserParser} is capable of parsing
 * names and extract leading init letters, first, last and middle name, as well as suffixes and
 * nicknames.
 *
 * The {@link com.tupilabs.human_name_parser.Name} is a object that encapsulates the name
 * {@code String} but that also contains the logic for handling the Regexes.
 *
 * The code organization and logic are mirrored from the PHP original library, so porting
 * improvements is not very complicated, and users comfortable with the prior library won't have
 * a hard time getting used to this Java port.
 *
 * @since 0.1
