Bug#896712: ITP: golang-github-dataence-porter2 -- Native Go English Porter2 stemmer

[jrmarsha <jrmarsha@mtu.edu>]

Good night time Aaron,

Reviewing the performance claims, I don't see data validating the 660% 
speed up.  Also, having looked at libdivsufsort and SACA-K, I think the 
code could use some more comparisons.  It does look neat though.  Also, 
why is this going through the bug list?

I am not a mod, so don't worry all too much about me.

> Porter2 implements the english Porter2 stemmer.  It is written
> completely using finite state machines to do suffix comparison, rather

> 660% faster compared to string comparison-based approach.
