/**
 * RULE #9: does one of the names match the token
 * just before a trailing company designator
 * in the other name?
 * The company designator has already been chopped off,
 * so the token before it, is in fact the last token
 * e.g. "R.H. Macy Co." == "Macy"
 * Applied to: organisation annotations only
